osprey_archer, that's exactly what I don't want! :(
I'll be reading a book in translation first thing in 2017, too! The Story of the Lost Child by Elena Ferrante.

I'm planning to read Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan quartet in 2017 too! Although probably not until later in the year. The covers are just so eye-catching, and everything I've heard about the books makes them sound interesting, although also maybe heartbreaking.
I probably wouldn't have heard of Beware of Pity at all, except a blog I read did a fascinating review of it a few years ago, and I've been meaning to read it ever since. I know so little about German and Austrian literature! Clearly this is step one toward correcting that gap.
