The Confessions of Felix Krull, Confidence Man, novel by Thomas Mann, originally published in German as Die Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Felix Krull in 1954.
The novel, which was unfinished at Mann’s death, is the story of a confidence man who wins the favour of others by performing the roles they desire of him. From childhood Krull lacks morality and has a masterful ability to play any part he desires. He avoids the draft by inducing symptoms of illness in himself and goes to work in a hotel as a pageboy. While there he manages to act as both servant and guest, having several escapades, including theft. He has an affair with Madame Houpflé and later agrees, for a considerable fee, to pose as the Marquis de Venosta. Going by the name Armand, Krull meets Professor Kuckuck on a train to Lisbon. The professor’s wife and daughter both yield to Krull’s charms. The story is a good example of Mann’s often-used theme of the immorality of the artist. Krull makes an art of his criminality and is motivated less by greed than by the sheer joy of a job well done. A deliberate parody, the novel is nonetheless a severely critical commentary on the modern bourgeoisie.

I'm currently reading "All Tomorrows" by C.M. Kosemen, and it's an incredible yet unsettling experience.
The book explores the future of humanity over millions of years, focusing on how alien interventions push human evolution into bizarre and often terrifying directions. The transformations and adaptations are so vividly described that they keep me on edge, blending excitement with a sense of anxiety.
To make it even better, the author plans to release a paper version with additional content.

"Buddha's Brain: The practical neuroscience of happiness, love and wisdom" by Rick Hanson and Richard Mendius.
Written by a couple of Californian doctors it's a quite fascinating look at how the way the brain works with Buddhist thought and meditation.

Have you read it?
Thomas Mann wanted to write something nice before he died, after he had only written serious things, but the book remained unfinished.

@barbudo2005
Yes, I found this book. I read a few pages, it didn't fall into a black hole - not worth wasting electricity
meaning I will continue reading. -
