A review by felo
How Proust Can Change Your Life by Alain de Botton

5.0

A cheeky treatise on things one may consider obvious, prosaic or cliché. But the ways Botton (and Proust) leads us to the final points are as winding as amusing, so the truisms of the last sentences become the revelations. Then, you have nothing left but to grin to yourself. How clever.

ps. After first few pages I thought I didn't need to read Proust anymore, while after finishing the book I'm desperate to read "In Search of Lost Time", even if it is going to take up the rest of my life :)
