Robert Musil,1965


Once again, Did not finish


I hate to have 4 in a row like this but damn. This isn't even a novel, it's an "experiment", according to Google. What it is, is soporific. I never fall asleep reading! Ive often stayed up all night for "one more chapter". But this knocked me right out, being just pages and pages and pages of the author's thoughts and ideas.
