The Curio Cabinet: The Symbolic, Strange & Surreal

These are the fictions that live on the edge of what language can contain - and sometimes just beyond. Admission is free, through entry requires a signed waiver: the curator cannot be held responsible for any transformations that occur upon your exit. We welcome specimen recommendations!

books to claim to have read to look insufferable

German to the core
Translated german language literature that is considered by many to be "core" reading from the modern and contemporary eras - meaning 1880 onwards, making it very readable. ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฆ๐น๐จ๐ญ I usually kept it to one book per author to make this a starting off point (sometimes added additional faves). Suggestions welcome!
rory gilmore book chalenge

A Journey Through the Self
A compilation of books (mostly fiction) in which the main character/s set out on a journey, leading to moments of meditation, introspection, meandering walks through the memory, conflicts with both the self, the path, and others, and ultimately: change, for both the characters and the reader. In these novels, the journey is more important than the destination.
Recommendations are welcome!

German Literature (Classics)
Works I would consider german literary classics. "German" in this context means "written in German", not "written by a German author", therefore Swiss, Austrian, and other authors will also be included on this list, provided they wrote their works in German.
