I need to refresh my German. I learned it for 10 years in school but I haven't practiced it for 6 years at all.

I was planning to get a German book and take its translation to read side by side.

What should I read? I was thinking

The Sorrows of Young Werther
Faust
Maybe some Nietzsche (already read Human, All Too Human)
Some Freud or Jung

Any idea, tips, advice?

Is Goethe that hard to read in German? Or is too old?

My idea would be to read this Goethe, but whatever you want, mang.

He's difficult if you haven't practiced German for 6 years. Try starting with some German poetry, like Rilke or Hoderlin.

Your first step should be to try reading Die Verwandlung and go from there

Ernst Jünger, In Stahlgewittern.

Sounds comfy. I wonder if I can find it in French and German at the same time though.

Poetry? That sounds weird to get back into the language. Also I usually don't get poetry.

Already read it. I also read The Trial, the Castle. Not sure I want more of him.

Siddharta is pretty easy to understand
