A challenging, amazing, unique book. If you want to try reading it, don’t get quickly discouraged; just put down the book and come back to it later. For me, the third section, “Swann in Love,” was the most accessible, so if you’re stuck on the first two sections, you could just skip ahead and read t...
I read Proust's masterpiece back in 1985. What did I know of life then? Nothing! Having recently read a Smithsonian editorial that made fun of the novels, and remembering all too well one particular hilariously snippy Monty Python sketch (the Summarize Proust Competition), I too wanted to be able ...

I'm sorry to say that I've fallen into the trapping of reading this book to be able to say that I've read it. You know, I've been to Paris, i've seen the Louvre (no I haven't), I've read Proust. I didn't mean to and honestly at the beginning I enjoyed it quite a lot. But then on Swann's part of cour...
I've read about the powerful message of memories in this book, but... that seems the smaller picture to me. Yes, many times throughout the novel, the most trifle objects become the key to lost memories, but ultimately this seems a testament to love rather than rememberance. Love of family. Love of f...
