Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, Fiction, Literary, Classics | Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Weekly Report

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

so-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! 💙🐾💚 11mo

Graywacke Love your happy pup! 11mo

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. 11mo

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. 11mo

SamAnne Yeah, I would prefer the company of your Beagle to Goethe! 11mo

dabbe @Daisey From the once-owner of two greyHOUNDS, I totally agree! 🤣😍🤗 11mo

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. 🙈 11mo

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. 11mo

The Sorrows of Young Werther | Wolfgang Goethe

pick

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

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
