Luckily with Goethe, we stuck mainly to poetry (though my friend did get that book as a thesis). The worst part for me was when I had to write a thesis on Bertolt Brecht. I ended up teaching my professor something (she hadn't read the story of Solomon and the kid he tried to cut in half to figure out who the real mother was, evidently). I don't speak German anymore out of terror that I'm going to royally screw it up, as I was an indifferent student at best. I liked the travel and I liked understanding it, but I'm shy and don't like speaking in English if I'm not entirely sure what I'm saying, let alone another language! I have nothing but complete and total respect for bi- and multilingual people.
Somebody should tackle steampunk Avengers again, I think. Especially Iron Man as steampunk would be a treat to read if done well. Plus, I'm trying to imagine Clint's bow and how his sniper scope would work on that. Natasha would have, like, thousands of tiny steampunk weapons, plus a blunderbuss and some other really cool stuff.
When I get the collection online, I'll let you know. There are some stunners. ;)
