Sounds good. I’ve been on a Humboldt gymnasium so I know quite a bit about him and his older brother Wilhelm. How do you like it so far?

its okay so far. thou i feel like the author has a tendency to repeat the same ideas over and over. i do like the bits where he is exploring places, that could have been written in more detail even.
