I have this habit of being critical on usually the first ten or so pages of a volume... So is this guy half asleep or what

It's him falling asleep, actually.

Yeah the prose reflects his sleep state there but the whole thing is long-winded and boring. The whole thing as in all of ISOLT. If you don't like Swann's Way I HIGHLY suggest not reading the rest. I liked Swann's Way but even that "like" wasn't enough to support me through all of it.
