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!
Classic Literature around the World
The intention of this list is to highlight classic literature from around the World. This is excluding the USA and UK from this list because they get enough attention. (Just kidding but also... not ๐คญ)
Curated by the PB community from ๐this PB club post please check out this club post for the original recommendation and any possible additions that I haven't added to the list.
Any suggestions welcome! I am special requesting suggestions from Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. As long as the book is considered classic literature in your country, I want to hear about it!

From classics to modern lit, a selection of great books written in German.
What good are shoes?
Books featuring characters who dislike wearing shoes. I'd like to keep this focused on characters who actually prefer walking barefoot instead of doing it for lack of access to suitable footwear, magic reasons, or because shoes are simply not widespread in their culture, but of course, these things might overlap. Suggestions to add/remove books are welcome, especially if you can provide a quote! I only had the source for one of these on hand and everything else comes from memory.

Books to brush up on your rusty German!
I learned German at university but since then I've had few opportunities to use it. I'm trying to pick it back up through various methods and I thought 'why not through reading'. This is where this list of German books (in German!) comes from. If you have any suggestions, let me know: let's create a syllabus to brush up on the German language together!
