Rodney BlairRe-reading Proust
I’m currently re-reading IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME,I’m setting a target of 30 pages per day for 100 days,I’ve currently read 900 in 3 weeks.When I read it in 1990,I set a target of 100pgs/day,got so hooked,I ended up reading 200/day and finished it in 17 days,I was unemployed at the time and that helped.I was 22 and now believe I was too young when I first read it,without the life experiences,the disappointments,the time wasted to fully comprehend it.The hardest part is that first 200 pages,once you get over that it’s plain sailing.Unfortunately most people don’t have the time,patience or inclination to read this glorious masterpiece. 5 months ago
