I read it for a school project, it might be drier then I remembered, but I had a vivid imagination, loved the images of a society going through a dark period... Loved the Stand by Stephen King too... EDIT: and the books by JG Ballard about the end of the world

TB - Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann Isn't Death in Venice not about typhus as well? I see that the illness in literature genre is one that I have barely scratched the surface of. I don't think I've read any Mann.

More importantly - are you enjoying it?
I read it years ago in Italy on a vacation. First part was with a group, then a week alone... A hundred years of solitude would have been more fitting, but I liked it a lot. Am a fan anyway, meant it as a tip!
