I'm reading "La cripta de los Capuchinos" by Joseph Roth and it's giving me a much clearer and personal picture of a regime change than I used it have.
I grew up reading Empress Sissi's stories, and I never thought of Austria in a different way except for the current Austria. In SL I live in post-war Berlin (1929) and I get that picture, but I'd never put things together as I'm doing now by reading this novel.
It must have been such a big change, so confusing to live after WWI...that now I get why it's called world war.

It's cool your reading La Cripta. I think that in order to fully learn a language you have to pursue it outside of the classroom. Good job!
Reading foreign language books is a great way to up your comprehension too. It keeps it fun and you learn more about the culture and idioms of the language.
