Proust is notorious for his long, winding sentences and seeming lack of a point, but if you are willing to wade through his work it can be worth it. Unfortunately I could not find an audio version of "Swann in Love" that was not abridged and so this was the only one I could get. If one reads Proust's work from the point of view that he was interested in making philosophical points and observation points on people in general, rather than having an interest in plot, this is for you. I think that this can be gotten in easier ways than reading "Swann in Love". The narration was excellent. My beef with the recording was that it ended without the end being announced - I thought that I had missed something.
