I think I'm going to give my older copy of Goethe's faust to my father after im done making a second copy version that is annotated. I just worry he wouldn't read it. He use to read stuff by Nostradamus and the main character is so bored with life, that he turns to magic by opening one of Nostradamus' books to awaken the macrocosm, and then the Earth spirit. I think he would like it if he could understand it, but he doesn't have the internet to look up questions to things he wont understand in the book, even with an annotated edition from me.
