Its been a bit since I checked in.

@weiguksa I finished Sorrows of Young Werther and I really did not enjoy it. A lot of the nature writing was nice, but the cultural differences between 18th century Germany and today made the whole thing bizarre. Very weird to think that people thought Werther creepily hanging around Lotte and randomly bursting into tears was admirable.

I read All the Pretty Horses, which absolutely kicked butt. Definitely recommended this for anyone that likes Americana. This one just falls out of my absolutely top tier of books.

I've just started the Two Towers as my casual reader and I'm going to be starting East of Eden this week for my more serious reading.

People really were weird back then, didn't he hang out with her and her boyfriend/husband all the time? It's been a while since I read it.

I think the book's most notable thing is describing depression accurately
