the ultimate autumn reading list // classic novels, plays, poems, and non-fiction // best fall reads 

Yes I would love to read that one!! I know it's based off the legend as Goethe's Faust which is my favourite play of all time (so far ;))

Good point! I meant to put Cervantes in the other 'European Literature' category, and I admit I put Joyce in the British category for simplicity's sake 😬

Thank you for the rec!! And thanks for being here!

I always take notes on articles, but for books, it depends. Generally, I don't take notes on fiction unless it's intense intellectually - for example, I would not take notes on Anne of Green Gables but I might on The Brothers Karamazov. For non-fiction books I often take notes. Sometimes note-taking can take the joy out of reading, so it also depends on how I'm feeling and what I'm reading for. I love the video idea! I might make one soon using The Iliad as an example.

@@cleopatrickk Thank you! Yes i think my notetaking changes depending on the book i’m reading as well. Currently trying to find a good way to take notes on non-fiction (specifically literary criticism), would definitely love to see your approach! :)

I've read 80% of them over the past 7 years or so (it helps when you're a Humanities student). The rest are on my TBR and have been recommended to me for autumn.

Canada!
