And just when I've come to the conclusion that I never really need to do Shakespeare I come across the book, "Shakespeare The Man who Pays the Rent," a book of a series of conversations that Brendan O'Hea had with Dame Judi Dench regarding her life in Shakespeare. I'm not quite halfway through, but brilliant. Heaven. Woke me up again. I actually had just read "Much Ado About Nothing," at least a first go of it, as I'm trying to read classic lit along with related Shakespeare. Also, have started, "Paradise Lost," "Mansfield Park," which has more humor in it, if of the wry variety, than I had remembered, and had been putting it off, and restarted "David Copperfield," which I guess I'll get to in a minute. But I need to get outside, and I think I'll go see if I can go borrow the John Barton "Playing Shakespeare" videos.
