Libre, seule et assoupi (Free, alone and asleep)

I will talk about the book Libre, seul et assoupi (Free, alone and asleep), of Romain Monnery.

Welcome to the world of work! All the people with a master who are coming to fail, each year, as a shoal of fish in panic out on the shores of non-employment have finally found their spokesman. In this book, Libre, seul et assoupi, Romain Monnery describes a sub-mode of life in a manner jubilant and corrosive. This book was adapted in a film call Free and asleep of Benjamin Guedj. I read the book and I see the film and I love both, it makes me think a lot about our society.

Some phrases of the book I would like to comment on:

 The main character, called in the film Sébastien alias “the other”, said in the book: I am someone who prefers dream her life sooner than live it. I not agree at all about his philosophy, my opinion is that it’s better life his dreams than dream his life.

Another phrase was: We are defined only about what we do and not what we are. I completely agree that the actual society stick etiquettes for what we do. But we know people are inclined to do the opposite to what they say. This reminds me of a citation: Do what I say not what I do. (film / book)
