In Search of Lost Time is pretty much the best answer.

Moncrieff is, by a very wide margin, the best translation.

The Montcrieff is more poignantly written, and the sentence structures are more interesting. The Davis translation isn't bad by any means, but it just doesn't stand up.

Book of the New Sun if you're looking for something about memory beyond the personal level.
