I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.
Day 144th
Join the fun if you want!

so-soI finished the last few chapters of this book with this lovely spring view, and I enjoyed the view more than the book. I could appreciate the philosophical aspects, but the story really dragged through the middle for me. In the end, I felt little emotion about any of the characters or the deaths of characters.

Still so true . . . marriage is often portrayed as the goal, the happy ending, without acknowledgement of the effort that goes into maintaining a successful marriage.

Good morning! There‘s a little rain this morning, so it‘s another perfect Saturday to start with books and breakfast. I have a chapter of Elective Affinities for a #readalong with @jewright (I finally convinced her to join Litsy!) and probably a few pages of my current Tolkien book as well. I just made it to “The Attack on Weathertop” chapter.

so-soUgh...I don't even know how to review this one. A happily married couple bring two more people into their home and: All Aboard the Crazy Train that's goin' aboard!! I sped through the first half, got a bit bored in the middle and then sped through the end... I liked the book, I just didn't find any of the characters sympathetic... 119/1,001 #1001Books
I don't wanna throw out a spoiler, but this made Edward, to me, an unmitigated douche cannon. Wow.
Last seminar of the semester with my 'Deutsche Literaturgeschichte II: Von der Aufklärung zur Goethe-Zeit' class. Most of the class are retirees who now take university classes for fun, and they've all become like my little German family. At this point, I think they're as invested in bettering my German and writing my thesis as I am! Today one of the ladies gave me this and another book as a present, and I nearly cried! #germanlyf
pickBased on the chemical process wereby elements, when they meet, quickly grasp eachother, Goethe describes in this book his vision on relationships. The story tells the power game of attraction and rejection, it is a conflict between the ordered world of morality and the demonic forces and nature of love. #1001books
