[...] The patients of many months’ or years’ standing had long learned to kill time without mental effort or means of distraction, by dint of a certain inner virtuosity they came to possess. They even considered it beginners’ awkwardness to glue yourself to a book. It was enough to have one lying in your lap or on your little table, in case of need.

I am actually enjoying this novel when Naphta is not making an appearance... I don't hate him, but I am not the right kind of audience for his verbal duels with Settembrini, either.

What we spend up here isn't time at all, and the new winter, when it comes, isn't new, but the same old winter all the time.

What is time? A mystery, a figment —and all-powerful. It conditions the exterior world, it is motion married to and mingled with the existence of bodies in space, and with the motion of these. Would there then be no time if there were no motion? No motion if no time? We fondly ask. Is time a function of space? Or space of time? Or are they identical? Echo answers.

I can't stop reading, I like it much more than the Buddenbrooks! I'm bracing myself, though, for the confusion that lies ahead, hoping to make it through in one piece!

Cate carti citesti in aceeasi perioada (sa nu zic in acelasi timp ca poate suna ciudat)?

Se mai intampla sa incep carti si sa nu fiu multumita de nimic, si atunci am vreo 3-4 in lista, dar nu e cazul acum. Acum am trei - Muntele vrajit e citit in cadrul unui grup de lectura pe Goodreads (dureaza pana in octombrie, dar am luat-o eu inainte), Intoarcerea huliganului am intrerupt-o la un moment dat (e un pic mai complicata), dar trebuie s-o reiau curand ca altfel uit ce-am citit, iar Orasul borcanelor l-am inceput ieri si il dau gata azi, caci e o lectura foarte usoara! :)
