Welcome to Litsy!

After the end of WWII, various members of a German middle-class family (2 appalled by nazism, others former nazis, including passionate believers & 1 wartime criminal) all end up in Rome for a few days for different reasons. It's incredibly bleak & shows how the nazi ideology never went away: people were just more discreet & biding their time. I hope it hasn't come. Not good for my anxiety level but an important book, written in the 50s.

Weekly Report

I've finished the tagged book. It was well-written, but not as devastating as the introduction promised.

Still reading 2666 and I've also picked up Human Matters.

Weekly Report:

I'm still slowly reading 2666. Death in Rome continues to interest, hope to finish soon. You Exist Too Much is a fine coming of age story from a lesser heard viewpoint, but perhaps not memorable. System Collapse was needed, but with not enough memory of the previous installments, I was confused.
