One of Polly‘s IB literature book so quickly read whilst she was home for the weekend. It was fun and frivolous. I believe I saw the opera 20 years ago. All a bit silly and I now realise I probably should have read The Barber of Seville first.

Hamlet | William Shakespeare
post image

I saw part of the 1948 Olivier Hamlet last night, and it gave me the urge to reread this. It's been a few years, but it's one of my favorite Shakespearean plays. Nothing like a reread of an old favorite on a cold winter's night!

TheBookHippie My son is reading this in English currently. Had to dig mine out! 2w
GingerAntics 🧡🧡🧡 This is a fav of mine as well 2w
TiredLibrarian @TheBookHippie I first read it in HS too, and I liked it but didn't love it. I think I needed some more life experience to appreciate it. Funny how books can hit you differently depending on where you are in life when you read them! 2w

TiredLibrarian @GingerAntics Glad you love it too! ❤️ 2w
TheBookHippie @TiredLibrarian oh I feel that way about so many books! 2w
GingerAntics @TiredLibrarian I have some rather unconventional ideas about this play. You have no idea… and they all stem from the “choose your own adventure” version of it. lol 2w
TiredLibrarian @GingerAntics I'm intrigued! 1w
GingerAntics @TiredLibrarian by the choose your own adventure version of Hamlet or my crazy musings? lol 1w

Hamilton: The Revolution | Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jeremy McCarter

I think I need to clarify that I‘m a retired #longtimefed and not a current employee. I‘m writing these posts because I‘m angry and insulted that feds are being thrown so unceremoniously under the bus. Again. Sadly, this isn‘t new. It‘s just fed bashing on steroids…or ketamine.

Since Social Security is part of my pension BY LAW, I guess that makes me part of the “parasite class” now. I just want to sit under my own vine and fig tree.

kspenmoll I will be a “parasite” as well when I retire in 2 years. SS is a worry….figs! (edited) 2w
Suet624 Parasite here too. I worked so hard for years. I‘m so mad at these monsters. 👊🏻 2w
TheBookHippie Ketamine for sure. 😵‍💫 2w
TieDyeDude They've already accidentally fired bird flu specialists and nuclear scientist who they are now begging to return to work. They have no idea what they are doing. It is embarrassing. 2w

Le Tartuffe | Jean-Baptiste Moliere

Pickpick

This comedy, first performed in 1664, is a pleasure to read, especially Dorine's parts.
This play is very topical: a man, Tartuffe, an hypocritical devotee, manages to entirely manipulate another man, Orgon. Manipulation, credulity, blindness are common themes.
Highly recommend!

IMASLOWREADER one of my favorite reads 2w

Corduroy Takes a Bow | Viola Davis
Pickpick

4 ⭐ The Corduroy books were in good hands with Viola Davis. You can tell a little difference between the original creator and Viola Davis, but she gets to the heart of this beloved character. Altogether the book works the illustrations are fantastic and it‘s all very nostalgic. The story is a little long for my taste, but it mixes in with the Corduroy of old.

Morning read! Le Tartuffe by Molière. My French book club meets tomorrow, and as the organizer, of course I need to take notes ;)
First time reading this play, but I've seen it played (ages ago).

lynneamch A fave group from back in the day. 3w
Megabooks @deblovestoread already mentioned my all-time favorite, I'll tag it, but also several more. If you are on the storygraph, I am megabucks there too. Go to my all-time stats page, and you will find 500+ memoirs with ratings! 3w
Megabooks The ones I've listed to here are all the ones I have in the storygraph that I've given 5 stars to. I'll do a sweep to see what others I'd like to add! 3w
Megabooks His next main girlfriend spilled even more, but this was definitely more thoughtful and reflective 3w
Megabooks and I'd have to add my favorite Bourdain memoir 3w
CBee @Megabooks wow Meg 👏🏻👏🏻 thanks! I will say I‘ve hesitated to read anything by Bourdain - I was pretty broken up when he died 😥 But, maybe I can try him now! Going to find you on SG, I might need to try and compile all of these into a spreadsheet or something 😂😂😂 3w
CBee @Megabooks oh yes, I‘ve read that one! It was excellent @Deblovestoread 3w
Megabooks Missed this 5 star one, and I think I'll end here. On a great high note. I hope you find some you like! 3w
CBee @AmyG not really 😂 I just really love a good memoir and got inspired by the one I finished today 3w
CBee @lil1inblue LOVED the McCurdy and the Smith. I agree anything by Patti Smith is amazing ♥️ 3w
Megabooks @CBee yes, Bourdain's death was so difficult! Read In the Weeds. Tom was his long-time director, and he does a lot of really good wrestling with his own feelings about Tony's death and Tony's legacy. It's really good! (edited) 3w
CBee @Megabooks I‘ll try that one! 3w
CBee @OndinetheSea @Chelsea.Poole @britt_brooke @MemoirsForMe @lynneamch @willaful @ferskner @BookBelle84 thanks for the recs, I‘ll be busy figuring out which ones to read next! ♥️😀 3w
