Surprisingly tough prompt, but reminded me I should read this some time😂

Is there a classics challenge/event on Litsy?🧐🤔

julesG Feels like a lifetime ago that I read this one. 4mo
Dilara I don't think I've come across a classics challenge as such on Litsy. I'd be interested though 😇 4mo

Wilhelm Meister is going slowly, I can't seem to get into it. SaGN is rather wordy and dense in a different way, but fun. And the short stories are a nice late night read.

Sorrows of Young Werther | Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Mehso-so

Well, that was rather depressing. I also think Goethe is a bit too philosophical for me to truly enjoy. I appreciated this story of love gone wrong, but I can‘t say I enjoyed it. Additionally, the narrator read clearly but also had the perfect voice to put me to sleep, so I headed out for a walk to finish it.

📷: Here‘s a picture of a very happy beagle to go with the unhappy ending to Werther‘s story.

dabbe Da cutest beagle around! Looks like you're being taken on the walk, not the other way around! 💙🐾💚 1y
Graywacke Love your happy pup! 1y
Daisey @dabbe We take turns. 😂 Sometimes she excitedly leads and sometimes I make her continue on our way. Never a dull walk with a hound checking out her surroundings. 1y

Daisey @Graywacke Thanks! We haven‘t had much time for long walks lately, and it was a beautiful day, so we both very much enjoyed it. 1y
SamAnne Yeah, I would prefer the company of your Beagle to Goethe! 1y
dabbe @Daisey From the once-owner of two greyHOUNDS, I totally agree! 🤣😍🤗 1y
MariaW Why do you think there was a “Werthermania”, it being fancy to commit suicide due to a general longing back in the days after the book was published? Because most readers were depressed after reading it. 🙈 1y
Daisey @MariaW I read about that when I first looked up the book and thought it was ridiculous, but after reading it I understand how someone dealing with unrequited love could decide to copy it. So depressing. 1y

Goethe wrote this tragedy of extreme infatuation in 1774 to deal with his own experience of unrequited love.

Thank you for tagging me @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ❤️

When I was younger I refused to DNF any book. As I got older I realized that life is ti short to read books I don't enjoy. Since then I do DNF books, but I always give them second chances. Or third. Sometimes I even end up thinking 'Now I'm too far into the book to DNF it' 😅

This just happened with a book by Sarah J. Maas tbh 😅🙈

Moony What a suitable quote! 2y
