Me too! Which books did you get? I bought some hamann, vico, and herder which talk about the subject of poetry and I also bought some Pound and Benn who are poets. =) Oh i also bought a biography of William Blake, and a biography on Goethe, and another weird book on goethe's works. It's called Essential Goethe, but it's just a compilation of this and that which maybe the amateur would be impressed but I'm not at all. Faust part 1 but not part 2? No Werther? Fragments of this and that. I have no idea what basis this editor went by to put this large book together. I'd rather he just make it a book on Goethe's works with excessive quotes, but honestly, that's asking a life time of study, and this was surely more convenient to just smash what a passerby would find eye-catching.
