Where would you start with Goethe and how would you continue? I am interested in both his literary and his non-literary works! Does someone by any chance have one of those beautiful Veeky Forums charts on him?
Goethe - Where to Start?

Auden translated The Italian Journey (available via Penguin) and his edition includes a fine biographical essay. I'd start there. Then I'd read the first Wilhelm Meister in either the Princeton edition or Carlyle's translation. Goethe's quality is consistent. Don't bother with any of the lyric poetry unless youre learning German or a speaker.

Why is this so hard to find? All the reviews say it's not the complete version.

It's in two parts, really distinct novels, the Lehrjahr (Apprenticeship) and the Wanderjahr (Journeyman Years). I recommended the first one. It's Volume 9 of the Complete Princeton Goethe in English, and is available as a paperback (which is what I have). If you wanted to read them back to back the second novel is combined with a piece called Conversations of German Refugees, volume 10. If youre near a University library u could just check out the Carlyle, to see what u think. The novel begins in Frankfurt (as did Goethe's life) and is considered semi-autobiographical. I'm sure either could be purchased pretty cheaply via ABE.

He would rather be enjoying Schiller's boypussy, than sit there and pose for a picture.
