On to Swann's story. He's smitten and Odette very cooperative currently. Interesting couple.

c’est pour des passages extraordinaires comme ça (les intermittences du cœur) que je le lis (p.154)

I've read the first 35 pages twice, both times at a very slow pace (~2.5 pages a day. This is the kind of book that forces you to read slow, not because of difficultly in reading, but a hypnotic effect. The prose is meditative, affective and still yet incredibly belletristic. This is the longest novel ever written, it will take me years to read, but it's impossible for me to feel daunted, because it is so pleasant.
