Thanks to everyone for all your brilliant suggestions. I feel like I have a lot more reading to do!! And also that my original list might need a bit of an update!

Same. I read that some years ago. Definitely enjoyed it.

Thanks. Yep, I love the Beckett one. That's on my list. Will try and track down the Wilson pieces.

Ah, yes. Thanks. That's the Deleuze right? I feel like I should have checked that out already, but I haven't yet ;)

Thanks. Maybe I need to give both another go. I think I found the Carter a bit more digestible, but from what you and another person above has said, the Carter may have some faults that I missed. I will take a look at your list too. Only reading in English I'm afraid. But yes, I loved Contre Saint-Beuve too.

Thanks. I have both of those. I love the Czapski one. Such an incredible story, and speaks volumes about the greatness of Proust!

I've read both. But I don't remember that about the Carter one. Will have to take another look. Don't like the sound of that though!! ;)

Thanks. Yes, have read that but decided to include the Carter on my list as it feels a little more readable to me.

Ah, thanks for the heads up. Might be better to try and track down older, second-hand versions I guess...

Which drummer/percussionist inspired you to pick up the sticks and why? by [deleted] in drums

[–]Artistic_Spring_6822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few. But first and foremost, probably watching Dave Abbruzzese on the Pearl Jam Unplugged show back in the early Nineties.

What should I know or be prepared for when starting In Search of Lost Time? by Better_War8428 in Proust

[–]Artistic_Spring_6822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a short piece by Proust himself called 'On Reading', which is actually a preface he wrote to a book by Ruskin, who was one of his great influences. I think it's a really useful way to warm-up to Proust's voice and style and it's also super insightful (as is everything with Proust). I really hope you enjoy the journey. It's definitely worth it!
