Tristram Shandy’s Reviews > Der Spion von Ortry > Status Update

The Karl May Gesellschaft should give you a medal or something for reading the man's entire catalog.

Oh dear, I am not going to read the entire May catalog, especially not his late works because they were getting rather esoteric. I'd rather read Conrad's complete catalog, or Philip K. Dick's, or George Eliot's, or Vonnegut's. And I'd do it without getting a medal ;-)

No? Looks like a binge read from the outside. PKD or Vonnegut would make for a really good catalog read!

After the Spion I am going to read Die Herren von Greifenklau, which is the last volume of the saga, and then I will take some time off from Mr. May. As to PKD, I have at least already read and reviewed every single one of his short stories, which was a very pleasurable journey. I definitely want to read all his sci fi novels but I do shy away from his later works, the VALIS ones.
