bump because I also love these type of novels, if anyone could recc more comfy books with lots of intellectual discussion that would be nice ;
@OP: I think The Recognitions might also fit, maybe The Name of the Rose (altho I didnt like that one thaaat much)

The Sleepwalkers by Hermann Broch. Also, The Unknown Quantity by Broch as well - much shorter.
Musil's Confusions of Young Master Torless is Musil lite - some talk of philosophy and mathematics, but not nearly as extensive as Qualities, obviously.

Bump because I don't want to start another thread, but how am I supposed to approach this novel? I'm halfway through a second attempt and the knowledge that it will never be completed is discouraging.
