e.g.:
- Ungeduld des Herzens (Zweig) - my all-time favourite German-language book... but with 450 pages (~120k words) definitely not a quick read
- Parade's end (consists of 4 separate novels, so could be split - but probably better read by someone with a posh English accent )
- Der Prozess (Kafka) - I have just recorded "Das Urteil" for Librivox and he is one hell of an author to record... maybe it's just me, but his sentence structuring is a bit weird
