EDIT: and the books by JG Ballard about the end of the world

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!
