High literature is something I only read by chance. I'm usually more a genre reader.

I have a soft spot for the dark side, though, and 'Adler und Engel' is pretty dark. It wasn't too pretentious either, but it's been a few years - my opinion might have changed. I notice that I have far less patience with books than I had then.

Are you sure you don't like similes. Let me try to convince you with this beauty (I'm sorry, but I cannot stop quoting Ms Roy):
It was a grand old house, the Ayemenem House, but aloof-looking. As though it had little to do with the people who lived in it. Like an old man with rheumy eyes watching children play, seeing only transience in their shrill elation and their wholehearted commitment to life.
