With September commencing I am switching gears to literary realism. What books do you recommend?

Mann's Magic Mountain
I feel it is meant to be read in autumn (it takes about a season to get through as well).

That's a brave choice. I'm more inclined towards stuff when autumn is knocking on my door.

Turgenev is regarded as realism, you I suggest you read Fathers and Sons. There's something great about that book which I can't quite capture.

P.S. I'm also fond of nutrients

Nah dude, the real Turgenev is Sketches of a Sportsman or Diaries of a Hunter or whatever the shit they traduce it to. That is realism at it's best, you won't regret it, OP.

Never read it, just know that Fathers and Sons was good. I will look into it though, thanks.

Does Oblomov belong within any literary movement? Cause I'd love to recommend it to anyone.
