That's fantastic! I'm so happy to hear that you're loving it! I felt the same way after the first book and have been really moved now in the second! I keep wanting to start the next one but I'm worried now I'm going to get through it all too quickly! Let me know how it comes along for you! I'm planning another post soon with an update just on Proust! Cheers!
I have to thank you for this article. I had already started "swann's way" twice (the original French version), the first time when I was 18, and the second time 2 or 3 years ago, but I stopped after a few dozen pages, because this reading requires intellectual availability and concentration that I was not able to maintain at either time. And then after reading your article, I said m'y self " Come on, let's try again!" I made my third attempt and it was the right one, I let myself be completely engulfed by its writing and it was a great joy. I finished the first volume yesterday and tomorrow I will buy the second, I can't wait, like a kid in front of the Christmas tree. I hope you enjoyed the reading.
