Lost Time Thursday: The Verdurins

( A joy for ever! )
All of a sudden (250 pages in) there's a brand new chapter, and a new POV character, who is not as vivid and adorable as Little Marcel, but whose problems are entertaining nonetheless (they are not really problems). M. Swann is pursuing Odette, which necessitates making friends with the clingy Verdurins and their "circle." If Proust decides to spend the next hundred pages just describing their exhaustingly repetitive daily "casual evenings," I'll be perfectly content.
