>reading proust
>hard part comes up
>go through paragraph as slowly as you can
>read its sentences over and over again
>repeat for several minutes, still can't make sense of it
>skip it for now thinking to yourself, "Surely I'll understand it on a reread," or, "It's not part of the main plot. I should be fine."
>tfw the feel of not understanding it is gnawing away at you from the inside, like not getting it leaves you forbidden from a profound wisdom
>tfw don't even know if you'll get it on a reread or if you will reread it or even finish it
