anybody else hate proust as much as I do?

[Kate]

Did he need an editor or what?

[Summer Rae]

I love love love Proust. But I never read more than a few pages at a time or it is like eating a stick of butter.

So, everyone who has posted here should watch "Little Miss Sunshine."

I don't loathe Proust, sorry. I plowed through IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME one summer, and enjoyed it immensely. I'll admit that I did skip a few sections during THE FUGITIVE and THE CAPTIVE, when his ceaseless descriptions of the countryside just got the better of me.

I am almost done with ROTPISOLT now and I have to say that while reading it was challenging at times, I feel it was worth it. When I find he is going on and on, I take a break and then return to it.

I think pages and pages on the scent of Madeleines ( orange flavored tea cakes) is a waste of ink. At the end of the day I compare Dickens, who writes about the human condition and is still relevant to today, to Proust who wrote several thousand pages of daydreams- and prefer to spend my time with Dickens.
