Reading Penthesilea because she eats Achilles in this one

Reading the Farseer Trilogy next 👀 got the used ones w illustrated covers which.. I thought was cool because old-school Fantasy covers have a vibe yaknow but they've white washed the protagonist?? What??

Significantly less exciting now like what the hell 🧍‍♂️

On a good note. I have stopped trying to get through altered carbon and picked up The galaxy and the ground within by Becky Chambers.

A proper feel good read. Idk i needed that. A book about people and connection and learning to understand each other :) I had fun. Read a lot of it on my train ride. Got through it quick

Reading Hélène Cixous' essays about art. I really really enjoy her writing style.. (it's the German translation.. bc.. French. Even through the translation her voice is very prominent. (Though word plays and such do not always makes sense in translation.. . But THAT ist why -> Annotations!)

i am looking at several german translations of les fleurs du mal and oh boy do they differ.. big L on the one i got from the local library smh. changed the whole rhyme scheme and made it unreadable for no reason?? man had the choice between aesthetics and accuracy and didn't go for either....?

I can make my own guy who bathes in dragons blood. ((who doesn't SUCK (looking and squinting my eyes at Siegfried)) We don't need him?!

Gunther and Siegfried only being able to best Brünhild by cheating with magic means 🤨 and only barely that is...
