Well, I just started the Proust book. It's entertaining, in a Malcolm Gladwell sort of way, but superficial in the same way and not quite as well written. The Whitman chapter offers nothing new to anyone at all familiar with Whitman, pretty much just rehashing a lot of familiar stuff. I didn't even get his point about George Eliot. And that's as far as I've gotten.
