I'm sticking with this for one reason, it helps me get to sleep. Cutting through the endless words, I've come to realize, what a bunch of unlikable characters! Mme Verdurin. what a pill!

still going..and going..and going..

blah blah blah, a few pages are enough to put me to sleep. I will say that Proust has a gift for descriptions, but geez, move things along already.

oh, just give up already

tedious, though I'm starting to skim through the more excruciating sections. I suppose if one absolutely loves prose, (I do, but I also need some thing to happen to hold my interest).

a great cure for insomnia. one or two pages and my eyes are fluttering and phone dropping from my hand. If only he didn't meander so.

Good grief, why am I doing this to myself? So tedious. Each introduction of a new character or something interesting is a tease to keep going but ultimately returns to his pain in the neck grandmother and aunt. If only there were some glimmer of hope of satisfaction. But I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. At least I can count on this story helping my insomnia.
