Fiction: Prague, Florence
I'm taking a last minute trip to Germany, Florence, and Prague next month. I've read every inch of my travel books and would love to read some fiction before I go. I don't think I'm going to make it the next month before I leave!
Do you have any favorite books set in Florence or Prague that you might suggest?

Hi cidell,
Anything by Kafka or Kundera is going to depressyou to the extent that you will not enjoy your trip.
Do not read anything by any Czech writers before going to Prague.

Ira:
Not reading anything by Kafka before going to Prague would be like not reading Dickens before traveling to London. I thought The Trial by Kafka to be one of the most absorbing parables of modern human existence I've ever read.
