I re-read "trade wind" written by M. M. Kaye. I read it many years ago and I had the desire to read again that love story and that atmosphere in Zanzibar

Love it, but it certainly is NOT a comedy. So much loss. It makes one wonder about Shakespeare's own view of Jews.
I re-read Shakepeare's Much Ado About Nothing (Folger version today).

I love this one! I am especially fond of the dialogue between Benedick and Beatrice.
Linked to Mr. Standfast by John Buchan. Probably my third time to read this book & it remains a favourite.
ReplyDeleteI read Children of the New Forest by Captain Marryat, which I thought the best story ever when I was 14, and kept reading it over and over :)
ReplyDeleteI read Shakepeare's Julius Caesar which has so very many lines you have probably heard even if you don't know that they are from this play. Interesting to note that it is considered a Tragedy rather than a Historical play.

ReplyDeletep.s. I'd love to be able to comment on your blog with a Name/URL. There's so much rigamarole to go through with Blogger. :)
I re-read Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It truly is a shame more high school students are not exposed to more of Shakepeare's plays. This one is a delightful riot. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1676218105

ReplyDeleteI didn't realize I was joining a Shakespeare trend when I read The Tempest. Even better than I remembered!
ReplyDeleteWow! The site changed! I re-read Shakespeare's Henry VIII, probably the least violent of his historical plays.
