>German "Literature" I've worked with a few

sounds right. No fucking humor. But nah. There's some decent books out there, but I couldn't name any off the top of my head. Still, there's a reason why germany used to be lauded for it's writers.

>they just seem like humanoid robots. They would go into work 30-60 minutes early, take quick lunch breaks, and have no problem working overtime if needed.
That'a the Japanese you're thinking about. You lazy fuck.

When going from reading an English written novel to a German one I love the structure sentences finally have again and repetitive but sensical usage of the comma.

>They would go into work 30-60 minutes early, take quick lunch breaks, and have no problem working overtime if needed.

Those are admirable traits though.

It is nice having some sort of order.

You can easily spot a German because a lot of them put a comma before 'that' as if it were a must in English too. For example:
>I have always though, that this is a good song.

I know fuck all about German literature but am currently reading The Magic Mountain and find it both absurdly well-written and genuinely funny.

Haven't read O but have read Michael Kohlhaus in the same edition--really liked it. Degeneration of human society and the obsession with perfecting imperfect justice. What makes a man a hero? To whom? And it incorporated just enough spirituality and divinity to garnish closure with unanswerable Big Questions. Try reading that if you have a chance

All I know is that most Germans are reading absolute trash. Krautchan and threads here have proven that.

All that I remember from reading it in school is the dash which signfies the rape scene. It occured to me as a peculiar kind of mastery.
