    I read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close many years ago and still remember crying really really hard. I recently read the Cherry Orchard and The Seagull I thought they were both was really sad. Maybe Russian humor goes over my head. But I really like Chekhov. I read a couple of his short stories: Ward No. 6, Gooseberries and The Lady with the Little Dog and thought they were all brilliant.

      Hi! The Perfume is in my Top 5 books of all time! I read it twice but i could read it again and again. I recommend more of Patrick Süskinds work, he did'nt write any other novels, but some novellas and plays. I loved "The Pigeon", one of my favourite novellas this year. Quite different in topic but very similar in style.

      Yeah Ernst is not someone you should pick up for political advice or such lawl. Still great great book and an interesting life. Also recommend the diarys. Both Strahlungen and 70 verweht.

      And people love Hemingway too and he was a huge asshole. Sometimes bad people produce very interesting books i guess

      @@aquariuslibrarian yes yes I also enjoy a good Japanese Christian iconography infused Twink extravaganza! In stahlgewittern is Remarque on crack, an it’s the one jünger novel that somehow cracks me up the most cause he is such an clever guy but yet he can’t get his head around how war is not just a inneres Erleben and cultural „Phänomen“ but also a classist hellscape. The one thing Brecht got str8 was that jüngers quite dumb dumb when it comes to this GEISTVERKLÄRUNG
