1) O flist, I need your help. Y'all are a literate bunch or you wouldn't be hanging around my LJ. What, in your opinion, is Shakespeare's most exciting play

Comments

most exciting shakespeare play? ...well, it's a slightly easier question than 'favorite,' but...it sort of depends

[shadowsong26]

haha, just checked and apparently all's well is now a category-defying one. so that would be merchant for comedies.

Noted! Thank you so much for your well-thought-out and interesting comment. I will definitely use it in future. <33333

Ummm. Did you like the architecture or the murder better in Devil In The White City?

[shadowsong26]

the murder, i think. it's been a while since i reread it, but that's the part that i remember more clearly, so. i need to reread it, obviously, but.

1. THAT IS LIKE ASKING ME TO CHOOSE A FAVORITE CHILD.

2. Good to know! I plan on reading it still, because DitWC is just plain amazing, but still, it's good to know it feels less like him. (Aside: did you know Leonardo DiCaprio bought the film rights to DitWC and plans to play H.H. Holmes?)

ETA: Yes. Yes you should. Because I know SOME about you, but I feel I should know more.

[bookblather]

1. OMG I KNOW. That's why I asked you people. :D

2. I did not know that! That should be awesomely creepy. GO LEO. In The Garden of Beasts is still well worth reading! Just not quite like the rest of Larson's work.

ETA: Done. :D

I would LOVE an intro post *lurks around*

[bookblather]

Posted! JUST FOR YOU.

Hamlet is wonderful. Titus... I was less attached to. Although it did have the first "your mom" joke ever recorded.

MUCH ADO FOR THE EFFING WIN. :D
