Weekend cabin rest cure

Reading Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain (a delightful read, I must say), I'm reminded a lot of Dostoyevsky, both in style and substance. They show a similar depth of insight into aspects of human psychology.
And I suppose it's kind of fitting that this is the book I'll be reading as I head to a snowy cabin in Olympic National Forest (my own little poor-man's version of International Sanatorium Berghof) for the weekend with a group of friends and a budding sore throat and earache (one of the major themes is illness as the novel's set in a rather posh tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps).
Catch all you 'flatlanders' on the flip side.
