. . . I used to go to bed early

I have heard it said that Proust's use of French is very beautiful. I consider it unfortunate that even if I immersed myself in French for the rest of my life, I still would not know for sure, for myself, whether that is true. But if I wanted to get immersed in French for a long time, I suppose I could buy this:

Yes, the whole A la recherche du temps perdu as an audio book, complete, on 111 CDs (139 hours). Normally it's 360.00 €, but this weekend only it's on sale for 299.90 €--while supplies last. I don’t know French well enough to jump at that kind of bargain. In the meantime I will continue to regret that there is no English-language complete audio book of In Search of Lost Time.
