    Just wanted you to know that I approved your name change for Lord Byron, but added "Gordon" as well, so it's "George Gordon, Lord Byron". Is that cool? :)

    I was lucky enough to see it live at the Old Vic and then at the RSC his Much Ado and truly phenomenal Cyrano, with interestingly enough a new (well, it was then) translation by Tony Burgess.

    Monkey glands, indeed. 50+ sun block is all a girl needs. That and natural (looks modestly away) beauty if you'll pardon the word.

    I know exactly what you mean; it's incredibly frustrating when that happens. I must-some time-try to read Ulysses again and see if the connection can be established. If not, then forget it. I am old enough not to feel like a ignorant philistine when this happens. May God forbid that any of us should become teddibly pwecious about such things.

    I found Harry Potter unreadable & can't be bothered trying again. Will he survive ? I have my doubts.

    Hello Tinky,

    Just saw Hamlet, eh, saw it with Derek J years back. That was rather good, too. Did I see Jude Law in that ghastly remake of Sleuth with the over-rated Caine? Mind you, Law was good.

    you may change your mind, when you realize that not only are they an adorable size (7 1/4" tall and cardinal red) and learn that he was expelled from Charterhouse "for the usual thing and was distinguished for "having the mind of a cad but the pen of an angel".

    Don't make me mail you a photo of how adorable they are, all in a neat red row...

    Ditto with TS.How could anyone find this amusing ? What a let-down. So it sat on the shelf for ? years. Finally I decided that I must read it-even 10%-and forced myself...only to be rewarded. It does take some getting used to, but once you get past the first few chapters you are caught up in the dazzling world of TS. Think Roth writing two centuries ago.

    Oh, do read Dan Chaucer in the original; such fun. Read it aloud. There will be a glossary.

    I cannot believe how much I am now liking Tristram S; I must be mature enough (ach ! finally !) to appreciate him...

    Frabjous Day says

    I imagine she's a sane woman whose account of the events at Bly has come to sound unhinged after years of re-living, re-telling and re-analysing.
    I'm not going to read anything too taxing until mid-December, when I'll have the time and energy for George Eliot whose prose -- bless her -- isn't easily sprinted through, whatever else its virtues.

    And so ambiguous: I don't know whether or not to think the woman quite mad.

    Yes, I have been dreadfully neglectful, haven't I? A thousand apologies, my Lord...can I be forgiven? I did take a Shelfari hiatus over the summer, and since I've returned the only group I've consistently been posting to is the historical fiction group - mainly because that's been my genre of choice recently. I did read Dracula though...I'd post something except I haven't much to say that hasn't already been posted. That said, I shall make an effort to once again participate in discussions. Cheerio!

    And I keep the blog for the craft store, too. As for Santa, I have a dear friend who's a realtor. She has Santa at her house every year around this time as a way to network. It's really marvelous because we don't have to wait very long, and Mr. B gets to spend some quality time with Santa. Because it's the same Santa year after year, Mr. B is convinced that this is the real deal.

    I don't know that my candle has more than two ends, but I'm certain my head has several holes in it.

    How lovely, darling. We had a whirlwind weekend, with Mr. B's fall carnival Friday night, a day of teaching at the craft store for me on Saturday, and a visit to Santa Claus (yes, really!) on Sunday. I've only four more weeks of school at the university, and my computer courses will wind up two weeks after that. I'm ready for a rest and some time with my books.

    Well, but "God of Carnage" is filling a very particular and nasty contemporary need. I'm not surprised it is a hit. Evidently it is tons of fun to watch well-off smug breeders, Park Slope variety, behaving badly and spiraling off the rails. It makes people feel better about themselves...as in "I'd never be such an a-hole!" I'm not convinced it is good theatre; its success is more a reflection of the appetites of an audience primed for the frenetic,and star wattage doesn't hurt. But that is what Reza is after, not lasting quality but fleeting bitchy comment. For me that's kinda got thin appeal. I thought her "Art" was a big pretentious yawn. And when you think that over a large chunk of the summer there was only ONE Broadway play running, and that that was a comedy, no,it does not bode well, all these limited runs with stars, audiences are different than they used to be, (the culture has changed) sadly, they want something with famous people, easy to digest - playburgers! A bad sign is that no one was interested in "Carnage" over the summer without its stars, so how good a play is that? They closed it while the cast took a break. Only in the non-profit sphere will people take chances, and even there you find ghettoes of favorite-son writers getting shot after shot, and difficulty for new meaningful voices to be heard...feh! The climate, the sensibility for plays has changed....this is why non-profit is so crucial to the art form. Broadway can no longer be depended upon to nurture quality. Not for plays. And off-Broadway is no longer commercially viable, as it certainly once was. Pretty depressing.
