Herzog (Penguin Classics)
read this for modern literature class at university (years ago). don't remember it very well, just remember it being about as good as a novel can be; i.e., while you're reading it, you're aware literary history is being made. however, also remember that I did not love love love it, such that i wish to re-read it immediately (as the most gripping fiction does).so 4/5 for now (placeholder), until I find a copy again.
