At a certain point in [Frankenstein], the monster is heading back to his “hovel” in the woods and stumbles upon someone’s lost “leathern portmanteau” which contains three books – a volume of Plutarch’s Lives (he doesn’t say specifically other than it contained the lives of the first leaders of the ancient republics, so maybe that can be intuited(?) – extra credit available there!) The second is Goethe’s The Sufferings of Young Werther (a.k.a. “The Sorrows of Young Werther”) and the third is John Milton’s Paradise Lost.

Or more…
So far I’ve read:
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von – The Sorrows of Young Werther
