Welcome to Litsy!

Occasional Weekly Report:

I just got back from a chill family visit, reading almost a book a day. So, I've finished The Romantics (quiet, bittersweet), The Restless (interesting structure), After the Death of Don Juan (longish postscript of a well known story), The Tree of Man (stoic view of Australian frontier), and Laidlaw (early Scottish noir).

Still reading Clarissa and almost done with the tagged book.

I loved reading this book since it shows the battling of ideals between the Medieval and the Renaissance periods, personified through different characters in the play.

"...one of the most noble and moving plays of our (?) generation, a THRENODY (new word for me) of hope deceived and deferred but never extinguished..."
