Now I'm mostly reading The Neverending Story (which I am loving) and The Witch Family (just okay). I've been reading The Neverending Story and loving it. Somehow I never read it when I was younger. 22. The Neverending Story by Michael Ende -- Finished 7/23/09 I'm looking for a copy of the Neverending Story by Michael Ende where the text is in different color inks. I always get conflicting information when I look for it online so if I knew ahead of time for sure, I'd mooch it in a heartbeat.

... go pick up a copy in Germany next time I get close enough. Such a wonderful book, but I really feel that way about most of Michael Ende.
And I really enjoyed Erich Kastner's Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer. Also literary children's literature.

As for Michael Ende, I like Momo even more than Die Unendliche Geschichte and definitely think they are literary enough to qualify. Faust would be high on my list. Also Die Leiden des jungen Werther.
Personally, I love Die Unendliche Geschichte, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as 'literary' enough to be 'greatest German novel'. ... go around, and it sounds like he could use some right about now.
Personally, I love the Bastian moniker. Reminds me of The Neverending Story. ... school - I haven't yet found anyone else who remembers this one, but it's another of my 'regulars'. I much prefer this to Neverending Story, it's a simpler tale and better in my opinion. It tells the story of 'Momo' a girl who lives in ruins outside a small town (that always seemed to have an ... ... but I've managed it.

Good reading!
The Neverending Story by Michael Ende and Inkheart by Cornelia Funke make a nice pairing. Both are German authors. Both feature youths who become involved in the books they discover. Ik heb net The book of lost things uit. Ik vond het een prachtig boek, het had wel wat weg van Het oneindige verhaal, alleen dan duisterder.
En ik ben meteen weer in een nieuw boek begonnen: Het jaar van magisch denken van Joan Didion. Tot nu toe vind ik het heel indrukwekkend. ... of Phrase and Fable: Millennium Edition

What I hate is losing the essence of the story, as was the case in movies like The Neverending Story and Belles on their Toes that I mentioned above. (#66) I agree. The Neverending Story film was awful. I had read the book to my little brother and was entranced by it; all those parts where Ende would say "but that's another story and shall be told another time" seemed to me to be great seed ideas for more books. I couldn't get enough of the thing. An ... The Neverending Story. Like Earthsea, the author hated what they did with his work so much that he asked to have his name removed from the credits.
Belles on their Toes, the sequel to Cheaper by the Dozen, took a fantastic story about a widow carrying on after her husband's death and ... The Neverending Story was better as a film.

... I used to read, in this instance putting down an abridgment of Toynbee's A Study of History to finish a re-read of The Neverending Story, something I admit I've been known to do, but usually only when I'm not interested in the topic. And in this case I am interested.
Admittedly very ... The Neverending Story! I loved that book! Is it really 30 years old?! Oh boy...how I age! I love both Inkheart and The neverending story. Remembering how much I enjoyed it years ago (I realized the book is almost thirty years old!!) I just bought a copy of the latter one for my son. The Neverending Story!

Have fun! ... in the past year when I moved a lot of books from my mother's basement to my basement (thanks to LT).
First there's Die Unendliche Geschichte and Momo by Michael Ende. They are two of my all-time favorite books and quite different when I read them as an adult.
Of course there's Le ... ... there are so many series that I love I wish they never ended. It brings to mind my confusion when I was younger about why The NeverEnding Story actually did end. ... buy everything off Amazon so that I could get what I wanted.

The Nothing from The Neverending Story It's either Patrick Süskind's The Perfume (unfortunately the German touchstone doesn't work) or Michael Ende's The Neverending Story (again, the German touchstone doesn't work). I read both books in German.
I love both books. I did have to read Das Parfum several times for school, but ... Don't forget The Princess Bride and Neverending Story. Also Angie Sage has started a new series starring hero Septimus Heap. The first two books are Magyk and Flyte. Love That Dog by Sharon Creech and A Girl Named Disaster by Nancy Farmer are also good.
