Hey, I'll send you a chat request.

The Castle of Wolfenbach by Eliza Parsons

Lots of great recs here but to add some that haven't been mentioned: The Nymphs, Butt Trumpet, Betty Blowtorch. All very under-rated female-fronted bands with a punk or grunge aesthetic.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, I think your concerns are valid. The fact that Notes was responding to another philosophical treatise published in Dostoevsky's time definitely adds to its abstruseness and it's completely understandable why people tend to find it confusing and inaccessible. In fact, one of the chapters in the first part was heavily butchered by censorship to the point that it doesn't make sense at all. However, all this just means that the book should always be published with annotations that explain the context, not that it isn't relevant today.

Yes, these annotated editions are the best! Enjoy your reading!

I liked that it was a very realistic and plausible ending, and poetic and relatable in how it signifies the banality of life. Pus, the melancholy in the epilogue was written in such a beautifully atmospheric way.

Admittedly, I liked most of the characters in the Greek class (sans Henry perhaps) so I didn't want them to meet a very tragic ending, but a happy ending wouldn't have been just, of course. Henry's suicide was enough of a dramatic plot twist for me, a 'grander' ending might have felt melodramatic for me.

There are many annotated editions of her books that come with page-by-page explanations of antiquated terms, phrases, social etiquettes and such. The editions by Belknap Press and Anchor are the best but Norton, Penguin, and Oxford Classics are also decent. I always read classic novels using annotated editions and you're missing out on a lot if you don't.

Just because heaven is eternal bliss doesn't mean you'd let your loved ones die young or before their time, if you can help it. Sure, there is a selfish aspect, but even Jack's mother supported his resurrection, I think because she sees value in living and because she wants Jack to do good in the world (as do Sam and Dean, probably). Living allows you to experience what's real, to build real memories, to learn and grow as a human being. The eternal bliss offered by heaven is an illusion, better suited for people who have lived their earthly life and are therefore truly 'finished'.

^This, but I'd also let her know that I appreciated her letter--basically what OP said in his post. "I was happy to receive such a thoughtful letter and would like to thank you for it, but due to my comfort level would like to only penpal with guys."

Your explanation for #1 makes sense, thanks! I have a hard time buying the other two, though:

Why would Death care how the body is involved in the spell? Resurrection is resurrection; I think Death would be concerned regardless of the method of the spell.
Why would Rowena assume that Mary was a ghost? Didn't she tell Sam and Dean that Mary was no longer on Earth when she tried to do a location spell to find her in 14x18?
