Public reader discussion about Metropolis by Thea von Harbou.

I just finished Time and Again by Jack Finney, and honestly I didn’t really get into it. Other than the first part (like the first 30 pages or so) and the ending (last 30), it felt pretty boring and I wasn’t very engaged. Maybe it would’ve landed better if I lived in NYC, but a lot of it just went on about what people were wearing and what the city looked like back in the 1800s.

Every time I see this movie’s title, I end up humming Kraftwerk’s “Metropolis.” I do really like the film, though—just not as much as Lang’s “Woman in the Moon.”

This is kind of a weird question, but I’ve always been drawn to big cities, the whole rundown/decadent vibe, and that gloomy, kind of lonely feeling you get when you’re walking around the outskirts of industrial areas. Does anyone know of a book that can give off that mood? Could be a novel, an essay, or even a diary-type thing. Thanks!
