You've gotten two volumes ahead of 90% of the people who have read Proust, (myself included). Kudos.
I put down Purity by Franzen for the second time (simply put, it's not nearly as good as The Corrections of Freedom), and picked up the new book on Roman history, SPQR by Mary Beard in anticipation of my trip to Rome. I've read Robert Hughes's book on Rome (not just ancient) and it has enriched my meandering around the streets of Rome immensely.
