t. anon that heard about this somewhere but never actually read proust
I suggest reading some late era Colette and consider if you're comfy with that or not. If not, read the rest of the european canon.

For a native speaker, all the challenge is in not getting bored. Understanding sentence structures, meaning keeping track of the clauses, only requires a sort of concentration well within the reach of any casual reader.
