I'm glad there's someone else out there that likes Mann. I intend re-reading his Faustus when I've finished re-reading The Magic Mountain. But my reading has its bottlenecks.

It's many years since I read Doktor Faustus but I know what Jayaprakash means about its not having the same sense of scale as The Magic Mountain. The latter book had so many characters, even if they were confined to one sanatorium.

I'm looking forward to re-acquainting myself with the book.
