What book of Thomas Mann should I start with? The Magic Mountain or Doctor Faustus?

Not Faust. I'd actually suggest Death in Venice.

or Buddenbrooks. The Magic Mountain is comfy but pretty rooted in pre-WWI political and cultural theory.

Thanks. I still have some books to finish, and after reading them I'll go to the library and probably borrow Buddenbrooks because they don't have Death in Venice. What about his short stories?

>>7824848
Start with Mario and the Magician then.

Doctor Faustus too, also classical music theory and aesthetics in general. When I read Dr.F, I didn't know anything about the latter two, but I enjoyed the book nevertheless.

Stop defacing those paintings. WTF is your problem?
