New large novel compared favorably to Proust - Anyone read this?

Being a huge fan of Proust (which I will begin re-reading shortly) - perhaps a reading group here on Mobileread is in order? - I ran across "My Struggle Book 1," by Karl Ove Knausgaard.

This is a 6-volume set of over 3,600 pages and has been compared to Proust.

I was so intrigued that I bought volume 1.

Has anyone read this book?

Here's a link to Amazon:

Here's a review quote from the New York Times Book Review:

"Why would you read a six-volume, 3,600-page Norwegian novel about a man writing a six-volume, 3,600-page Norwegian novel? The short answer is that it is breathtakingly good, and so you cannot stop yourself, and would not want to...Arrestingly beautiful."
