Is 23 too young to start reading In Search of Lost Time?

No. You won't be 23 when you finish it anyway, many people read it over at least 5 years. Spend months reading a volume, take a break, come back when you feel like more. You can't force Proust.

Its far too old, your formative years are behind you.
You should be locked into a post-learning career by now.

I started at 23 and finished at 24 with no major issues. You can always reread it when you are older anyway.
