The sixty-second book: #51 Anton Reiser - Karl Philipp Moritz
The psychological novel, as it's described here, is a biography of sorts - Anton Reiser is fictional, but is based on the writer's life - but it focused more on the protagonist's troubles, how he's mentally dealing with what happens in his life, and how that influences what follows, dragging himself down. It's a more engaging approach than using the factual accounts - not as much happens, but it flows better and makes more sense, while the protagonist is flawed enough that so much can make it through internally.
In the end, despite this book having been somewhat forgotten, it is a decent read and an actual page turned - not something I usually get with books this old.
