you have the best lists! but arg, Andy and I have been waiting on Susan Bernofksy's Magic Mountain translation, forthcoming but when? Will read the Turgenev story.
ah, i forgot there's a new translo coming. i've got a couple other folks on the hook to read Magic Mountain with me soonish. now wondering if we should wait???
I've been holding out for two or three years now since Bernofsky announced this translation project. Now it seems kinda silly since it probably isn't due till at least 2025. But I know it'll bother me if I finally read the thing then her translation drops right after. What to do?!
easy, read an earlier translo first to have something to compare the Bernofsky with! also, in an afterword included in some editions Mann himself importunes the reader to go back to page one right now and read it all again.

Just checked and it's not coming out in 2024 anyway

Haha, chutzpah of the writer. Guess a Nobel means you're allowed to do that. Okay, if you (re)read it this year, let me know and I'll join you.
