Finally finished Frankenstein after trying to read it slowly and not let it end because I genuinely enjoyed the writing. It might be the translation too (I was forced to read the Finnish translation) but the language and way of writing were really pretty, something I personally really enjoy reading. All the descriptions of things were a nice change to more direct telling I have read recently

Half the product of going into the book store on the way home and buying anything that looks remotely interesting.

Haven't any unread books around at the moment
Aus Feuer ward der Geist geschaffen,
drum schenkt mir süßes Feuer ein!
Die Lust der Lieder und der Waffen,
die Lust der Liebe schenkt mir ein,
der Trauben süßes Sonnenblut,
das Wunder glaubt und Wunder thut!
In class so no pic but I only have Lolita, The Invisible Man, and Frankenstein piled up. Thankfully the library is closer than the book store or else it'd be a much bigger pile.
Oh cool reading backlogs I'll post mine too.
You know, this isn't nearly as impressive when you don't buy paper books anymore.
Oh are we counting wishlists?

Medea finished, it was good but not particularly something that made any strong feelings surface in me. I'm currently reading the Flowers of Evil and I'm enjoying it a lot so far, even though Finnish translation looks visually very different from the original French
Euripides' Medea? Yeah it was kinda whatever. I got what it was trying to say but really it was only entertaining because Medea was a pure undiluted psycho.
Stop.

Apparently I'm supposed to read "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by Junot Díaz. Any book experts here know if the recommendation is good?
I did. Most of Tolkien's stuff. Only thing I haven't are his renditions of the Arturian Legends, Beowulf, Sigurd, etc. Well... I believe I read his Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. I dunno. It's been awhile.
And I didn't have the fancy versions of his books either (besides The Children of Hurin, Tales from the Perilous Realm, and Lord of the Rings, of which were all *insert latest year here* anniversary / hard cover / expensive), but the cheap, small print hard to read confusing as shit paperback ones.
So, to answer your question. Yes, there are.

I like the Children of Hurin the most. Tragedies are my thing.
Sadly, I gave 75% of my collection away. Some through sales, most via charity.

Oh, nope, I read The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady by Gerald Morris. Not Tolkien's version.
Sorry, never heard of it. If you want to wait a few days I can ask people who would probably know.
Please do, Im not big on money and dont just wanna buy something nobody I know has read and can confirm as good
