What Britt has been reading...

I just have one word for you all: Shakespeare.
I'm here in London and I get to live and breathe Shakespeare (well, most of the time anyway). Besides seeing his plays and wandering around the site of the Globe, I have read Macbeth, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Antony and Cleopatra, and about to embark on The Tempest before delving into Romeo and Juliet. Makes me think that perhaps we may try reading one of Will's plays this next year... Just something to think about. Hope everyone is having a great summer!

what matt has read so far.

So guys.

I had to read Catching Fire. Which I suppose we could talk about, but mostly it's just kind of a fun thriller. But I read it and really enjoyed it. Now my dad just finished reading it and he thinks it's really good.

More interesting perhaps is the fact that I have begun listening to "A Pair of Blue Eyes" by Hardy at work, and I've also read the first few pages of "Jude the Obscure." Yes, I am starting my Thomas Hardy summer reading. Hopefully Moscow won't interfere too much with it, and hopefully Thomas Hardy won't interfere too much with my Russian. We'll just see what happens I guess.
