Swann's Way by Marcel Proust
1.0

DNF. Frankly, I don't hate myself enough to suffer through more than 100 pages of this self-involved word salad. I'm sure this is the highest of high art for a great many people, but I cannot for the life of me find the beauty or interest in any of it. And imagining subjecting myself to another ~1,900 pages of this is, quite honestly, my idea of hell.

Stop letting white men dictate the Western canon. Or better yet, just get rid of such things altogether.
