I have a copy of Werther because I used to teach a class on the Romantics and I SHOULD read it, but I've always rather dreaded it. You have made me reconsider. Especially because I DO still teach Frankenstein and the Creature read it, although he rather admired Werther. But then, since no human being would hold a conversation with him without either running away or trying to kill him, I suppose his overdramatic Romanticism was fairly come by.
