Romeo and Juliet (go ahead and make fun, I sort of deserve it)
|
i ahd to read that in 9th grade english. Shakespeare surley makes for fun tests, i got a 120 on the test, though r and j is actually one of his more boring works, Hamlet, and macbeth are much better.
|
^^Hamlet is one of Shakespeares best "stories" I think he was a much better poet..

I don't know about Romeo and Juliet not being as good, I think to an extent the story has had such a big impact on so much romantic fiction since then that a lot of the ideas in Romeo and Juliet almost seem cliched... when in fact they were borrowed from Romeo and Juliet in the first place. Depends upon your perpective.
I was reading 'Shalimar the Clown' by Salman Rushdie but I think I left it in Australia :( Oh, RIGHT-TRACK, now I've started reading 'The Wasp Factory'. You were right, 'tis mighty good and quite the oddity. |
Recently finished 'Breakfast of Champions' by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., great book!
Currently working my way through 'The Message' by Eugene H. Peterson. I recently said it was written by God, but it was, in fact, a man who authored the novel. It is a novel, I think. |
On the Road again
and this random book I found in my library from like 1910 called the Psychology of Sex. The terminology it uses is amusing |

A Comedy of Errors and As You Like It are probably my favorites of Shakeypoo. Although I do have a soft spot for The Tempest -.^ Right nooowww I am reading Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs - Klosterman, a little late I'll admit... but I finished Killing Yourself to Live not too long ago. Concurrently, I am reading Rock of Ages: The Rolling Stone History of Rock & Roll, and as soon as I am finished with the Klosterman novel I'll start on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - a book by Philip K. D!ck, who you might know as the author of A Scanner Darkly, and Blade Runner. |
Huckleberry Finn. It was too southern....Alittle over southern but it had a good message.
