The best parts of Proust's Recherche are: vol 2 (part 2), vol 4, 5 and 6. If you have read vol 1 and didn't like it too much, then next time start with vol 2 chap 2 and continue with vol 4. Trust me on this!
Here is the thing: in 1912/1913 something happened to #Proust . It made him a much better author. The volumes I ask you to read were all written after 1913 (see: yellow band). Also note: his books were totally not released in the order written.
