Reply to Heidi book review. by Certified_Cichlid
Heidi is the first “big” book I ever read, 8/9 years old. Still one of my favorites. I love how honest to herself she remains despite the changes, and how she has valuable relationships both in the Alps and in Frankfurt.

Reply to What was required reading for you in highschool or university? by [deleted]
We had a lot of required books and can’t remember them all. The ones I remember the most ( some I only know the title in Spanish)
Beowulf
El canto del mio cid
Los nibelungos
Poppl vuh
100 years solitude
Don quixote
The iliad
Unbearable lightness of being ( this one messed me up for a while)
La vorágine
Maria
Rosario tijeras
Catcher in the rye
Romeo and Julieth
Tom Sawyer
Un cadaver en la biblioteca
In college, I only took the mandatory English classes ( engineering major), but I had to read
Troilus and Cressida ( Shakespeare)
The odyssey
All silent in the west front
Overall, I realized what I like ( and what I don’t like) to read, and through all the discussions it helped me see how each book is a representation of their time and to not judge a book written 100 years ago by today’s standards.
