pickI read this in fits and starts over the last few months and realized that with a well written classic like this, that you‘ve read as many times as I‘ve read this, there‘s no need to read it straight through to be completely immersed in the story every time you pick it up. You don‘t loose anything.

I‘ve never seen this one make biscuits on a book before! It‘s adorable! It‘s also totally time for him to stop this and find a place to curl up so I can get on with my reading 😂 #catsoflitsy
I got a 20+kg packet from my parents. The youngest book in the packet was from 1951. The oldest book - incidentally the only book I actually wanted to have - is from 1890-1, a Ladies' Magazine.
Now I have the fifth book of Goethe's complete works, a book by Gottfried Keller, a family bible (not my family's), a book of maps and a book of remedies. And the aforementioned magazine.

A word I come across often but only happened to look up for the first time this week. From context I‘d always taken it to mean something closer to acquiescence than quietude, so I was surprised to see the dictionary definition even though I expect I‘d find common ground for all 3 if I pulled out the OED.

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.
