5) Death in Venice and other stories by Mann

This might change. I’d like to have a woman writer in there somewhere, but these are the ones I already own so I’m prioritizing those.

Nice one. Nice fit in this list would be Vicki Baum and Irmgard Keun if you wanted a woman or two :)

I’ve DNFed The Magic Mountain for now. Will try again in May. Will pick up something else soon - probably Imperium by Christian Kracht.

Update - still paused on The Magic Mountain, DNFed Imperium

Finished Siddhartha! Liked it a bunch, maybe I loved it. Thought-provoking, but not super exciting.
