……把托马斯·曼描绘成一个向纳粹低头的“崇尚权威者”（正如后面的评论所展开的那样，这种画像基本有失公允），我谨引用《魔山》里我最喜欢的一句话：Als ob Stillgelegen nicht ein ebenso gutes Kommando wäre wie Stillgestanden! 约翰·伍兹的译本是：“搞得好像‘稍息！’不如‘立正！’是条好口令似的！”不过 Stillgelegen 确实……

我很惊讶居然有人会聊起《魔山》（托马斯·曼著）。这是一本难以置信的杰作。它（真的）改变了我的人生。
I'm surprised that anybody talks about Magic Mountain (Thomas Mann). It's an incredible book. It changed my life (really).
……弥尔顿 -《失乐园》。文笔有力且优美。* 虚构类 拉伯雷 -《巨人传》。风趣幽默，一场真正的文字盛宴（译本本身就是一件艺术品） 托马斯·曼 -《魔山》。令人难忘且动人 皮埃尔·肖代洛·德·拉克洛 -《危险关系》。充满丑闻，扣人心弦。伊万·屠格涅夫 -《初恋》。写作大师级水准。篇幅短小、敏锐且叙述精妙。马塞尔·普鲁斯特……

……与其贬低这种情绪，不如去探究为什么它们如此普遍，以及它们是否真的有害。我建议你读读陀思妥耶夫斯基的《地下室手记》和托马斯·曼的《魔山》。这些书在这个话题上给了我很多启发。

……我最近读过的书里最喜欢的几本。除此之外，还有很多严肃虚构作品值得细细品味，作者比如：- 荷马（看电影《特洛伊》跟原著差得太远了）- 托马斯·曼——《魔山》是其作品中的首选 - 罗伯特·穆齐尔——我认为《没有个性的人》是最优秀的文学作品之一 - 阿尔贝·加缪——挑他的任何作品都行，但篇幅最短的被认为是……
