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 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."
