Ahhh, must get started on history reading!! I'm trying to get through Serpent and Moon but I heard it was absolutely horrendous and am terrified of starting.
What'd you think of Letters? *holds onto own opinion for the moment*
I liked Letters, the writing is wonderful, though the translation is pretty bad in my copy. I respect the ideas of Rilke, but I can't say I completely agree with some of them.
Did you get the Norton edition? Tan-ish colored with weirdly-patterned brown dots? I agree, the writing is absolutely gorgeous. I find myself rereading paragraphs and pages jsut to bask in the beauty of it. Okay, that does sound weird, but still. Rilke's ideas are very idyllic, romantic, almost too much so I think. It would be nice to have a world of people who lived as he did, but unfortunately, he's one in a million.
