★★★★☆ 4/5
I've been "cleaning house" and finally finished this after leaving it on the shelf for years. I had about 200pp left. I feel like it started to get more interesting not too far from where I left off. I always enjoy the parts about society and the lives of people surrounding the narrator the best; in Proust these are interspersed with his (often deep) philosophical and psychological musings and his descriptions of nature, etc. (in Volume 6 he describes his trip to Venice).
