Marcel Proust wrote À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search Of Lost Time) and some consider it to be one of the best novels of the twentith century? Why? Most people have never heard of this massive work. I’ve finished the first book, Swann’s Way, and so far I haven’t been really impressed. What’s so great about it? Should I finish the other six books? Is it worth it?
So what?
Ah, it’s on my Must Read Some Day list. I do a search for it occasionally on – um, the free book place, with the classics. Biblio… Dang.
In Search of Lost Brain…
PROJECT GUTENBURG.
That’s where I started reading Anna Karenina during a time period at a reception desk when I had to look busy and intelligent when the phone wasn’t ringing. And I really enjoyed it! So I am definitely up for giving Proust a try.
I shall wander off, as inanely as I’ve wandered on, now.
