As with the previous year, the best-selling book of 1916 was a forgotten work by Booth Tarkington, in this case Seventeen. The best-selling book of 1966 was Valley of the Dolls.

We did a dramatic version of Ibsen's Brand at the Cocteau Repertory. Does that count?

Pretty sure I've read the Special Relativity part of Einstein, but not the General Relativity part. I've left it unticked, though.
