Swann's Way by Marcel Proust

Back in 1928, when Swann's Way was first published, there were no cellphones. Servants used to bring handwritten notes around between friends. So much has changed since then, including our taste in literature. Proust's extremely long sentences and paragraphs that take up pages will not be for everyone. I had not read a book like this in 40 years! But it was worth it, since I found this classic quite fascinating. Styles of writing may have changed, but people have not.
