Tales of E. T. A. Hoffmann - ★★ I guess? 18th century German Romantic stories that bridge the gap between fairy tales and the modern novel. Stories meander and don't always make sense but are weird and funny. Read one and you've got a sense of them all https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RI939M/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i9 …

The Story of a New Name - ★★★ The two girls are now women who spend a lot of time on the beach What was implicit becomes explicit as you get omniscient view of the friend. Also too much of the book devoted to boring melodrama https://www.amazon.com/Story-New-Name-Neapolitan-Novels/dp/1609451341/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1549813189&sr=8-3 …

Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay - ★★★★ Elena has moved far away, physically and in terms of class, and Lila has stayed in the same social circles at home A return to the form of the first book with all the good things I said about that one https://www.amazon.com/Those-Who-Leave-Stay-Neapolitan/dp/B00XRCDEME/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549813189&sr=8-1&keywords=elena+ferrante …

The Sun Also Rises - ★★ A college memoir, Hemingway recounts how him and his friends got drunk a lot and chased after women. Almost certainly Brett Kavanaugh's favorite book Historically, must have been a shock to read when you are used to Henry James.https://www.amazon.com/Sun-Also-Rises-Hemingway-Library/dp/1501121960/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1549813595&sr=8-1 …
