Stranded on an Island. By random chance you’ve got your three favourite books with you.
What are you reading?
The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
Crime and Punishment by Dostoieski
Man I feel like I’ve betrayed many other genial books I’ve read by choosing only 3.
Is there an English translation/edition of The Magic Mountain that you feel stands out above the rest?
I usually read in Romanian (native language) for 2 reasons: somehow books in English are more expensive here and although I think my English is good, I feel slow/not understanding the whole picture when reading in it.
These being said, I think most of the translations should do the trick, as German is more close to English than to Romanian (and the translation I read was just beautiful).
