A bloody good read (get it? winkwinknudgenudge)

Seeing as this is the first moment in what feels like decades that both my consistently unreliable internet and livejournal are actually working I'll throw in a quick post.

Tomorrow is really the beginning of two weeks of fun- oh no wait, I'll be at home revising. That's right, two whole weeks of clawing through textbooks and doing past papers... ( Read more... )

An Inspector Calls is my absolute favourite play after Journey's End. I suppose it's much easier to enjoy when it's not compulsory, though. That being said, I only know of it because I had to do it at GCSE for coursework. Same with War of the Worlds, actually and I think that's a cracker too.

Sometimes I worry I am the only person that falls absolutely in love with their English set texts; I think I've grown to love all of them and read more by the author for every one since GCSE. With the exception of Ian McEwan's On Chesil Beach. I hated that.

P.S. I totally read a damn good read in Benedict Cumberbatch's voice because of the whole a damn good shag thing from HIGNFY. And now I've just realised that it says damn it's a good read not what I previously thought. God, I'm tired.

I think I've been pretty lucky with the texts we've been given; I absolutely lovelovelove Pride and Prejudice, and An Inspector Calls, plus the war poetry is actually pretty damn good.

PS. I just had to re-watch that little bit from HIGNFY because I couldn't get him out of my head. Damn you.
