too bad that my uni has a stupid red on white one I think.

Also isn't it weird that there's only one copy in the library & it's been free for like a week? Wonder if an English student will fucking steal it from me tomorrow.

Was great until I saw John Updike was included.

Seriously?

This used to be may favorite painting until I discovered Constable, so I was excited to see it on the cover of this.

lol

that painting is on the cover of my copy of sorrows of young werther (and i'm pretty sure i've seen it on the cover of at least one other book as well). for some reason, people think that painting makes a really good book cover.

I'd never seen it on anything before. My copy of Dorian Grey and my wife's copy of A Sentimental Education both have the same painting as a cover.

If anyone cares, it was painted by Caspar David Friedrich.

Well, yeah. I didn't feel the need to point that out.
