So many books, so little time (and space)...
The original plan was to work through the piles of unread books in my flat, not to mention the e-books I have and the audiobooks I bookmarked on Spotify/lismio. But somehow, those keep growing. Also, I re-discovered the library. ;)
I mostly read Sci-fi, Fantasy and historical fiction. Also non-fiction (mostly history of one kind or another). I read in English and German and occasionally French.

@eldang@outside.ofa.dog This is my favourite book. Very interesting what you write about the translations. It's a tall order to translate Thomas Mann and his specific way of writing into other languages.

@SallyStrange@bookwyrm.social In this case the things that bugged me were plot related and one of the main characters being a bad stereotype. I was thinking about trying again with Vagabonds but seeing your comment maybe not.

At this point, it's safe to declare this book officially abandoned. There were just too many things that bugged me in the first third or so and I don't think it'll get better.

I did enjoy it as a kind of light-hearted murder mystery despite a number of flaws until the big reveal about one of the characters. The reveal ruined a big part of what I had liked about the story up until that point. Also, the rest of the book after that felt shallow, like a plot resolution by the numbers. The reveal also throws up some ethical problems that hardly get addressed. Overall, disappointing given the interesting premise.
