I wish I wasn't the only person in the world to think that Proust is/was overrated. To be fair, I haven't read In Search of Lost Time yet, so...
It may be that I tend to not like the way French novels end up in English and I've only ever read Proust in translation. If I could only work on my French some, I would like to read some of his work in the original language and I might not be so critical. But that probably won't ever happen.
