Traumnovelle is more difficult. It's like jumping from L'étranger straight to Madame Bovary. I wish that I had found something on an intermediate level between the two, but looking up every unknown word leads to vocabulary building. I hope that, a few weeks from now, I'll be reading with minimal dictionary involvement (like I already am in French).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Although I have not had the pleasure of reading it in German, in English I deeply enjoyed the book.

I am in basic agreement with you, though I haven't read it since high school. *NM*

You weren't really slamming a Nobel laureate in favor of a shitty writer like Coelho, were you?
