How Proust Can Change Your Life by Alain de Botton
3.0
Wow, I was Proustified!
Alain de Botton wrote Proust's short biography through the template of a self-help book. Well, In Search of Lost Time is well-known for its life-changing reading experience (despite the fact that it has 4000-pages). Even a writer like Virginia Woolf was insecure after reading Proust!
Although there are some insights that become an eye-opener for me, there are parts in this book that made me lose interest in finishing it. Probably because I can't relate to some themes explored in this book.
