Plus de Proust

Hace casi un año contesté el cuestionario Proust por primera vez. Luego me regalaron la bella edición de Assouline, la cuál casi nadie me quiso contestar...
En fin, revisando mis respuestas de ese entonces me doy cuenta que si he cambiado en varios aspectos, mientras que en otros me mantengo igual.

Así que me propongo a contestarlo cada año. Por diversión, por introspección, por experimento psicológico. ¿Porqué no?
