[quote=Anonymous]I read it the year I turned 40 and it was an amazing experience. I read it over an entire year with lots of books in between. It takes a while to get into the flow. I found that I needed to sit and read a large chunk and then take a break for a few days. Or sometimes I'd read a good portion over a week. Reading a proscribed small amount of pages per day didn't work for me. Because it's broken into books, you can take a decent break of a few weeks or so between each book. The symbols and themes that flow throughout the 7000 pages are stunning. And the ending is amazing. It's not to say I didn't have moments of boredom or losing track of the story, but overall it was a formative reading experience that I highly recommend. I'd like to reread it some day. I also highly recommend a companion book called "Paintings in Proust" that has beautiful reprints of the art work talked about in the novel and descriptions of why they are important. It added a lot for me. [/quote]
