Proust on the beach

Whenever I go on vacation I imagine myself with lots of extra relaxing and reading time, but that time never seems to materialize. We ended up taking an impromptu three day vacation, on which I lugged my ancient library copy of In Search, and on which I managed to re-read about 10 pages, and all of those on our last day at the beach. When I think of beach books Proust does not usually make the cut.
