How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/11/books/review/McInerney-t.html?_r=1&em&ex=1194757200&en=2ecd4529817730dd&ei=5087%0A&oref=slogin

Professor Bayard's book was reviewed on Sunday in the New York Times.

I read some Proust on Friday and Saturday nights after long brutal day's work. The thing about Proust is, that you know he won't keep you awake past your bedtime flipping pages likes crazy to find out "who dunnit." This can be a good thing.

How tongue in cheek is Bayard's book? Methinks it is.
