The ninety-seventh book: #77 The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr - E. T. A. Hoffmann

I don't think I expected the Tomcat of this novel to be a literal tomcat, even as literate and erudite as this one ends up being. It's an interesting way of looking at the work, taking the first person narrative story telling but letting an outside perspective judge it. It's not trying to really innovate that, but it makes for a nice and more whimsical look at the intrigue the work describes. Spliced together with Keisler's more human perspective, weaving in the narrative our feline comments on, it's a fun read, entertaining in a lot of places, though never quite giving you enough story before yanking you out and moving you to the other side.
