Death in Venice

20% in. I am going to be so conflicted about this.
40% in. Finally, some life!
60% in. Now it is perfect. <3
80% in. I don't want either Aschenbach or Tadzio to die. I've grown quite attached to them.
100% in. This was brilliant. Mann's got me wishing I was an ascetic old man who had devoted his being to discipline just so I could taste the intoxicating annihilative pleasures of liberation after a lifetime of sobriety.
