September 10, 2010 - Sorrows of a Young Werther

I have been reading Sorrows of a Young Werther and it is an excellent book.  I like how the book is organized as a series of letters; it is interesting to look at the time that passes between them.  In addition, I like Goethe's bits on nature.  Reminds me a little bit of Walden, but without taking nearly as long.  I just can't figure out what the title means - babel fish has werther meaning worth, but "Sorrows of a Young Worth" doesn't seem to fit.
