Were staying Henry V in class...dont tell anyone but im still not done with MacBeth...!
"If I hadn't kept saying to myself 'one more time, I want to hear your name just one more time', I wouldve left long before I did." - Kafta 'Letters to Milena'
"Your eyes are subduing the sorrows of the world with their brightness."
"One ought to take your face in both hands and look you square in the eye, so that you would wee yourself in the eyes of the other person, then you could not even think the kinds of things wrote there."
I kinda gave up on War of the Worlds. Ill probably pick it back up later, its a quick book. Im reading Letters to milena now and then also MacBeth for class. I really want to read East of Edan next since the new show just came out but i might fit a novella in before, thinking about Tostoy's the death of ilyich....? I miss my peak where i could read one book a day, alas i have fucking class every fucking day.
Whoops, sorry guys I forgot to update yall on what I was reading for class after R&J, I just finished Much Ado About Nothing, im kinda getting sick of shakesy. Apparently the Scottish Play is supposed to be better and the plays the professor chooses get better....
Also lwk Sci-Fy might not be the best genre for me, Ive been stuck on The War of The Wars for like 3 weeks now, and its only 200 pages. Maybe PHM was like a fluke
And I promiseeeeee I'll update and put my thoughts on all the books on the shelf!!! All the ratings and thoughts are written down so trust they exist.
Wells really likes to use the word "erect"...and quite frankly i hate it.
I FINALLY finished Romeo and Jueliet thank god omg.
Why is it, everytime im like 1/4 or 2/5 threw a book i find another book or im reminded of another book i really want to read. I PROMISE I WILL READ PRIDE AND PREDJUICE AT SOME POINT PLEASE!!!
Am I the only person that feels like the more they read Shakespeare, the more they dont understand? is't just me who is't doth feel this way?
Also, I came to the conclusion that in order to keep my sanity for this semester, I need to keep reading books that i want to and not just Shakespeare. So for now the book i choose is H.G. Wells' War of The Worlds.
"O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night as a rich jewel in an Ethipo's ear-beauty too rich for use, for Earth too dear. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows as yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, Ill watch her place of stand and touching hers, make bleesed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, for i ne'er saw true beauty till this night." Act 1 Scene 5 Page 53
Genuinely what, like 20 mins ago you were talking about another girl, Romeo what are you talking about?
those last lines though im not gonna lie is a bar i might be taking those. 'Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, for i ne'er saw true beauty till this night.' btw hes saing "if my heart has ever love till now, then forget about it. Becasue till tonight i have never saw true beauty." In the context of the book its just silly.
We are watching Baz Luhrmann's verison of Romeo And Juliet in my shakespeare class. guys what the fuck is this...?
Ok so I thought I would update you guys on what Ive been reading, the next few months will probably be shakespeare related since of my shakespeare lit class. Anyways were starting Romeo and Juliet soon, and im excited about it. Hoping I can finish rereading Letters To A Young Poet, currently transfering notes and rereading it so i can gift it to someone. Because why notttttttt.....except i lost my og book and the new edition i got is ripped up already like crazy so i think im just going to get two more of the hardcover. Anyways if u think this gift is for you uhhh just forget about this.
