Is this as comfy as everyone says it is? I haven't read much stuff from Europe, especially literature from the early twentieth century. Will most of the context go over my head? What should I read prior to The Magic Mountain? Anything quick online? Thanks /lit/.

so you decided on magic mountain instead of JR?

Maybe read death in Venice first to get used to his style
MM is 10/10 comfy as expected though. Part of it is you feel complicit, like you're on the mountain with him and don't want to leave

>like you're on the mountain with him and don't want to leave
He keeps you there with his magic.

Hilariously, I (the one who was trying to choose in the other thread) didn't post this one, but I did just decide on The Magic Mountain right before seeing this post. I get through books pretty fast, so I'll likely go for Gaddis next.

It's great anon. Read Death in Venice first then start MM. Don't stop when it gets tough, push through and savor it. Best wishes.
