I've just started on 1599 (written by my Shakespeare tutor's Shakespeare tutor [!!!!!!]), because I am crazy and think literary scholarship is awesome (when I don't have to do it :P). Anyhoo, today I came across an anecdote that made me laugh out loud in the middle of Starbucks. For context's sake, Richard Burbage was an actor/theatre owner that ( Read more... )

One of these days I will remember that I can't (re)read The Historian at night. I was planning on reading Dracula after this, and I think I might have to read it only during the day as well.

I think I've gone into hibernation again. All I want to do is sleep, and I can't even bring myself to read anything. Even in front of the computer I mostly just sit and stare, and I'm tired all the time. Oh, and the leg still hurts. Pain fluctuates daily and now my back's joined in the fun. Definitely the shitty dorm bed's fault. I am so sick and ( Read more... )
