Recs if you like The Nibelungenlied...

As much medieval-era literature as I can possibly gather into one list! Largely focused on romances, lais, Arthuriana, &c.

Overlooked, lesser known classics from all over the world and of many genres.

This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.

When gods were real and heroes walked the earth, these stories were everything.

If you like The Odyssey, The Iliad, and crave more knowledge on mythological epics told around the world - this list is for you! As much as I love the existing quests and lists around Greco-Roman mythology and its retellings, it fuelled the flame to read other epics that are overshadowed by Greek/Roman/Norse mythology. Start exploring! May you be blessed by the Gods/Goddesses, traveller!

So you want to diversify your reading list and thought about checking German literature. Should you check out the classical ones? Try some modern reads? Here's a list of every type of German book I really enjoyed or I heard are excellent - from the classics, to YA, to non-fiction

popular, semi popular or once popular german language lit that I find interesting. also, schiller >>> goethe, so no faust 😊

added as i read the book

Because if I can’t have my library full of Teyvat’s books, I may as well fill it with the inspiration.
