Night Train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier
5.0
Man, this book.
There is essentially no plot and most of the supporting characters are not just implausible but also indistinguishable from one another, so there's that going for it.
But Gregorius is so compelling, so likeable, and so empathizeable that I can't help but give this five stars.
A work of philosophy very poorly concealed behind a mystery. I will be thinking about this book for a long time after putting it down.
