Behrens and Castorp compare cig sizes.
The engineer asks to be invited over to check his painting of Chauchat, who's Hans sole motivator in this whole book. Doesn't this man have any other motivation?
Settembrini is part of the Order for Good of the World. It has an Ubermensch vibe; I don't know what to think of it yet. It's been fun to read this, ngl.

Oh yeah, romance subplots take the cake! I would never read a romance book, yet here I am gushing over Clavdia and Hans and the way they kiss by the firelight...
Also Myhneer Peeperkorn? Man's got personality. He is personality according to Hans.

Can I just say? I'm crying on the inside (gross).
This book makes me so happy/sad. It's like listening to the Smiths or graduating from college.
This book answers so many questions I have about the meaning of life, and how that is intrinsically related to time. This element, the element of our experience. This book hurt me in its beginning and I gave up on it. Boy am I glad I picked it back up.
Only I know my pain.

What a pleasant day of reading! I read a lot and plan to knock out a few more pages before I inevitably fall asleep. Book's been great, especially the chapters where Naphta isn't in them. I'm much more interested in the plot than in the philosophical discussion. I like the latter, but the former is what I'm here for. Other than that, the future's looking grim. No plans for the future, ladies and gent, no plans at all

This book is my life. If all goes wrong, I'll take a whole year to stay in bed and just read.
The world's a mess, don't you know?

I'm loving this debate between Naphta and Herr Settembrini!
