you should read "man and his follies" by Grant first as well. good luck though.

>>10512013
>read zeno's, the man without qualities, the magic mountain first"
Wait why?

>>10512017
ty xoxo I've never heard of the book you're recommending but I'll check it out eventually.

>>10512013
Read Proust while lying in bed. That is all. Best of luck reading the greatest piece of literature ever composed anon

>>10512022
you're supposed to read the less challenging works in a movement before the big boy.

>>10512026
Thanks anon. I'll read sitting tonight so I don't snooze and then lying in bed in the morning.

>>10512013
You’re probably not even 40. How the fuck do you expect to appreciate even a fraction of this? Kys hipster doofus.

>>10512136
lol what kind of 40 year old goes on 4chan? No I'm 22.

Juden yawn fest whose present praise was paid for, be less of a hipster or enjoy your wasted time.

>>10512136
Is this true?

>>10512193
>reading one of the most celebrated works of literature in the west which maintained praise after the author was long gone
>hipster time waster.

>>10512216
no fuckhead.

>>10512219
>the west
>jew
Try again.

>>10512239
literature sure is a cool accessory to compliment all your /pol/ isn't it anon. Have you posted about how much a degenerate foucoult is today yet?

>>10512254
>compliment
Why is the average reader of this mediocre jewish writer such an idiot?

>>10512271
blame the dark golden liquid jew on my errors.

>>10512229
No, he's right.

>>10512298
play vidyo until you're 40 then start reading dude.

>>10512034
No anon. Read lying in bed. You’ll dream of Proust. It’s infectious. You’ll see what I mean

>>10512325
I'm afraid that would put me to sleep, given how dreamlike and slow moving the (admittedly very few) parts of Swann's Way I've read have been

>>10512325
alright fair enough I'll do it for you because you're the only person left in my thread who's not an old fogey or a pol-derailer.

>>10512331
>>10512329
That’s the beauty of it. That’s what the intro of the waking sleeper is all about. You haven’t really read Proust if you haven’t fallen asleep while reading him, or read him in that half-stupor between waking and sleeping

>>10512354
Here here! Proust is like a drug, something opiate.

>>10512315
Ever hear of other books? God damn, people on this board have weak minds.

>>10512029
Proust is maybe relatively challenging, but compared to others? Nah.

>>10512136
>>10512298
literally anyone can relate to the beginning seeing as its about a fucking kid, his mom, his dad, and sleeping. Anyone can relate to Swann and the narrator's love with Gilberte. I'm only halfway through within a budding grove and I can tell you this.

>>10512456
That’s the point anon. Proust takes the archetypal artistic experience and makes it eminently relatable. Everything in the novel is a quasi-aesthetic contemplation, a half-waking dream based on that initial scene with his mother

>>10512013
You'll love it. It's one of, if not the, greatest piece of human expression ever conjured.
