I'd like to read this one. Won't finish in April, but hopefully this quarter.

i hope to be able to start with the read somewhere next week. i'm currently stuck with Rumo and want to finish before i start Felix Krull.
Don't get me wrong, Rumo is great, a five strar book so far, but the chapter i'm about to start is approx 160 pages long, have in the meantime finished two novels of similar length...

Brilliant~ thank you
My copy of the book, after being so pleased to find I had a copy, is so old, the pages so yellow and the writing so small I'm struggling a bit. Hope to finish in a day or two.

Such a shame Mann couldn’t finish it. I have a feeling Krull was just warming up …
