The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann

5.0

This took me almost a fucking year to read. Or did it? What is time anyway? This book was about nothing, and it was about everything. I had two healthy breakdowns throughout. I yelled at it quite a bit. Laughed out loud a good deal. I can't wait to revisit this as an older, smarter adult...the densest book I've ever read, both the best and the worst. You need to speak multiple languages, literally and figuratively, to make it though any significant portion.
