First the Mardis Gras party in Wallurgis Night was my favorite chapter. Then it was Operationes Spirituales' philosophical dialogues between bourgeois humanist Setembrini and Naptha his Jesuit-nihilist counterpart. But now it must be Snow, where skiing becomes Castorp's new interest and sends him on more daring adventures until he goes farther than ever before and is forced to return in a blizzard. Great writing!
