How Proust Can Change Your Life by Alain de Botton
medium-paced
2.0
This was pretty forgettable. It took me a while to finish it, and only managed to do so when I forced myself to read 10 pages every morning.
There were a few interesting points in there (pretty basic about appreciating art and life and whatnot), but for most of the book, I wondered if the author is trying to dissuade me from reading Proust.
Will I read Proust? I will give it a go because I already bought Swann's Way. But now thanks to Botton I kind of dread it.
