How Proust Can Change Your Life by Alain de Botton
4.0
4.5
In many ways this is a near perfect book. It is funny, thoroughly readable, profound enough to make you stop and think, but not so appallingly overbearing in its insights that you become overwhelmed by its majesty and feel you haven’t taken much out of it. Given to me by a dear friend, whom I know will enjoy reading it when she gets the chance. Proust’s and De Botton’s ideas are almost as wise as hers. Cheers Aatqa!!
