"To admit to not really liking it would make me feel like a cretin. Liked it well enough; or, reading it was analogous to eating eggplant--it didn't kill me and I'm sure that I got something out of it. No, what I really want to say is this: My God, Goethe really was a mopey boy."
"I highly recommend reading this book before traveling to Italy. Written by Frankfurt's favorite son- it is one of my favorite travelling books. Goethe says, "To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is to not have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything." I must admit I have not seen Sicily, but what other parts of Italy I have seen I have totally fallen in love with. So many layers of history, incredible food, scenery, life, love, and vibrancy: something for everyone to love. Goethe's book is ofcourse more of a personal journey, but like any great travel writing, he brings life to everyone he writes about. Read the Venice chapter while in Venice!"
