Remembrance of Things Past: Volume II - The Guermantes Way & Cities of the Plain by Marcel Proust

4.0

This volume is kinda about Marcel discovering that other people have thoughts and feelings, that society life is hella shallow and full of hypocrisy, and that he himself is both annoying and not well-liked.

I mean, I guess everyone should have that revelation at least once in their life.

This was also the first instance in the series where I felt like some of Proust's observations were redundant, but we're what - like 150o pages in? that's pretty impressive.

Also, Marcel learns to navigate revolving doors. What a bright boy.
