A Modern Classic in the Marber grid, #2276, 1967, no prizes for guessing the cover credit. The late Thirties diarist of Nausea, as it turns out, has a thing or two to say about blogging:

“The best thing would be to write down everything that happens from day to day. To keep a diary in order to understand. To neglect no nuances or little details, even if they seem unimportant, and above all to classify them. I must say how I see this table, the street, people, my packet of tobacco, since these are the things which have changed. I must fix the exact extent and nature of this change.

For example, there is a coardboard box which contains my bottle of ink. I ought to try to say how I saw it before and how I see it now. Well, it’s a parallelepiped rectangle standing out against — that’s silly, there’s nothing I can say about it. That’s what I must avoid: I mustn’t put strangeness where there’s nothing. I think that is the danger of keeping a diary: you exaggerate everything, you are on the look-out, and you continually stretch the truth.”
