Been reading many more old books this year. 

Turned out to be one of my smartest decisions. Also loosely related to the quote @maurice posted about how we forget the dry years. 

"If we must choose between old books and new ones, we should always select an old one." - C.S Lewis

Couldn’t agree more!! I have been self jailing in a room lately with many titles from previous century. It has enriched my world so much. Thomas Mann I only read the magic mountain, but doctor faustus is waiting soon. Good reminder. Btw something that occupied me beautifully also Monte Cristo, the slave by Singer, Lewis trilogy (three planets, forgot names)

Oh interesting. I was confused about Mephisto, now this explains it. Doubly curious now for a perspective of a second brother.

Actually Mephisto is from his brother Klaus Mann, another great writer. I think the Mann family also had a third published author. :)) 

I'll put these on my list too, Dr Faustus I heard good things about/
