The Reader by Bernhard Schlink

This is for the philosophical romantic, the reader of tragedy and the questioner of life. This is great writing. Never once was I bored or uninterested. Every page was full. And it's such a good look at post WWII Germans, which we don't hear much of. Most of the tragedy of that war is given to pity the genocide of the Jews, but what about the country that had to overcome such an atrocity on their hands, on their parent's hands, in their history forever, in their memories? It is a good story for many good reasons and I will probably read it again one day, not many books make it to my reread list but this one did. Nothing extravagant, just real.
