Thinking of reading it next. What does /lit/ think of it?

When you're done with Thomas Mann, I suggest moving onto Hermann Hesse. Glass Bead Game is definitely a fantastic work.

Otherwise Mann is a spectacular writer and the Magic Mountain is a fantastic book. I remember my dad leaving this book on the table near the shitter and I read it every time I got back from school-- never had I enjoyed sitting on the toilet more than when this book was new to me.

I also read Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man on the shitter and a variety of older English classics. I liked my dad.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 1 05:10:27 2017 No.9450135 >>9450056 >The book is very thick Perhaps you meant to say THICC

>>	Anonymous Mon May 1 05:13:58 2017 No.9450143 >>9450089 Why? English is so much more complicated that it should be rather otherwise.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 1 06:04:57 2017 No.9450206 I remember reading it many years ago ... I mostly recall it being the most boring and pointless book ever.
