I really now know that the style of Marcel Proust is not the one I like. And I tried. This is the second book I tried to read. And still no interesting reading. I must admit that I do not like at all Proust. His twisted phrases, plain books, descriptive scenes of french high class society from the begining of 20th centuryy does not fit me.
My copy of this book is in romanian.
