Your enjoyment of the book is inversely proportional to your levels of testosterone.

Maybe its my ESL but everytime he starts to describe landscapes and the various types of plants i just have to take breaks and google the names so much that it kinda turns me off that i cant read the whole thing in one go but in reading and re reading in bursts.
But i love the way he gives personality to the characters and by their way of thinking.

Who the fuck stops to look up a random plant... just keep moving forward

[Anonymous No.16562274]

He spends a lot of time describing the plants, their smell and its affect, so a part of me kinda wants to know how the plant looks to grasp more of less what he is describing.

Why read it in english if it’s not your native language? No good translations in yours?

I wanted to train my english and get better used to it, i see it as a kind of a challenge.
Also all of the 7 books here were sold separately at 25 euros, the everyman's library collection was 60 and they even came in a nice hard cover.

Not a perfect book as many will have you believe but still one of the greatest.Too many scenes drag out forever, Proust rehashes his philosophy repetitively and too many characters become faggots

If you can’t let the beauty of Marcel’s narration carry you through a 15-page sentence wherein he beautifully describes the landscape, psychological conditions, societal norms, philosophy then you are NGMI

I said i think it’s one of the greatest books every and I would bet that I’m one of only a handful on here who read the entire book.there are certainly flaws.how many times does the narrator lament that things(names, places,etc) don’t usually live up to expectations?the faggotry and Dreyfusism is just Proust unable to keep his personal life out of the book.Like if one or two characters were faggots, whatever.instead it seems as if every other character is an “invert” by the end of the book
