[close] A place for fans of the decadents, the surrealists, the symbolists, the expats, the occultists, the aesthetes, and spooky folks.

[close] 2013 was the year for reading—or re-reading—Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu or In Search of Lost Time for many of us. However, these threads will remain intact for those who wish to use them and the reading schedule to read Proust on their own, by contributing here, or inviting others to use the existing forum structure for future group reads of In Search of Lost Time. The reading schedule can be found here, and can easily be amended for subsequent year-long reads; see the thread here for the translations and editions we will be using. [Update] When discussing ISOLT in the discussion threads, spoilers can be hidden by bracketing them between the special and tags.
