Joseph and His Brothers

Thomas Mann’s “Joseph and his brothers”, a tetralogy on the biblical (old testament) Joseph. I am in the fourth reading.

EDIT3: If we're going to go with fiction, this looks like a good list to pick from: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6.Best_Books_of_the_20th_... (http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6.Best_Books_of_the_20th_Century) Personally, I've read almost none of these! 1) How can you have read none of these? Get started already! And don't wait for others to tell you which books to read! 2) That list is very suspect... I don't know how they compiled it, but it's a bit strange that it does contain some good books but then simultaneously allocates several positions to enjoyable but trashy books such as Harry Potter. Also gives several position to LotR (one is warranted, no more!), including one for the Silmarillion (wtf? I enjoyed it, but "best book of the 20th century"? no way!) Memoirs of a Geisha is also nice but hardly a thought leader. And it seems to be completely missing immortal masterpieces such as Narziss & Goldmund (Herman Hesse), Joseph and his Brothers (Thomas Mann), The Trial (Kafka), and many others. An "OK" starting point, but not even the shadow of a definitive list.
