I feel the same about Proust. I had put off reading him for awhile because I didn't want to intefere with my reading list. But, when I gave it a try I found that I couldn't put it down; it just reads like pure magic; I felt like I was in a trance state the whole time. I read volumes 1-3 consecutively. I felt reborn when I was done. I've felt the urge to finish recently. This video and this upcoming summer seem to be calling to me. Enjoy, brother; I know I, and many others, have.
Thanks so much for these videos. I really enjoy watching them, please keep it up. You mentioned in your ($54 Book Haul) video last month that there'll be a similar book fair soon. I'll really appreciate it if you could share the details ahead of time. I am afraid that I'll see the video of your new haul again after everything is finished.
Proust is truly one of the most incredible writers in terms of technique.
Good choice of excerpts and great review as always!
Looking forward to reading him later this year. Good to hear it was so enjoyable for you.
You may have just done for me what Strange Lucidity has done for you: my list of upcoming reads has shifted a bit. Fantastic review!
Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
You know a writer/poet is incredible if you feel angry at the inability to read their work in the original language 🥰
Will you make a video of your favourite fiction books?
Just a suggestion that you should do that once you've reached a subscriber milestone.
I'm actually reading In Search of Lost Time this year myself. I even used "god-tier" to describe the prose too! XD It really is that good. I'm gearing up to start volume four; had to take a little break after the third one cuz it can be hella boring at times. Although the writing is so freaking gorgeous you stayed hooked. I would definitely recommend at least reading the next volume; Within a Budding Grove I actually enjoyed more than Swann's Way. :)
I collected the Moncrief set some years ago, love it, and was about half way through a couple of years ago, but was tempted away by many, many literary distractions. Now I'm wondering if I should get the Davis et al trans. to continue. Hmmm.
Anyway, before you continue with it, I so strongly recommend you get a copy of Paintings in Proust, by Eric Karpeles. Proust so often refers to painters and paintings, and I was constantly searching for the visuals, until I found this book. They're all right there. Enjoy.
