How Proust Can Change Your Life

If you have considered reading this book, you are probably aware of who Proust is, but I honestly knew little about him before reading this book. I've been on a French author reading kick for, oh, five months or so, and I've had this book in my TBR for quite some time, so this was a must-read for me.

The question is, then, How? And, importantly, Can He?

The answers read like a how-to-be-happier self-help guide, but this book is not of that genre; this book is actually a book of literary criticism, oddly. Reading Proust can change your life by teaching you to focus on slowing down, relishing, thinking, reading thoughtfully, and your senses.

That's the How. Now for the Can He.

I say yes. Of course I do. I am a librarian, for goodness sake. Of course Proust can change your life. I'm of the opinion that all books can and do.
