I want to read Medea but will tackle first Kassandra. I have read in the past Kein Ort. Nirgends, which I may reread. Also a collection of short stories. But have no reading date yet. I hope to start Kassandra in January.

I have Kassandra and Medea on my to-read list, so I'll join you, Kall. January works for me for Kassandra. Anytime works for Medea.

Most definitely. After delving into Kassandra, I am planning on reading every word Christa Wo..."

Great.. I certainly want to read a couple more, with Medea being one of them, and then The City of Angels that Elena mentions above.
