Hamlet - DailyLit and Met Team Up to offer Hamlet Tickets
One of my favorite lines from hamlet... "The serpent that did sting thy father's life
Now wears his crown." It would be really cool to see this at the Met. I've never seen it performed before.
Reader Challenges - 6 Word Autobiography
I am driven and fallible, duality.
Horror Books - how about some hp lovecraft
I love reading his work. My son just finished a short collection of his work. It was really cool talking with him about a few of the stories.
The Art of War - war
The Art of War was required reading, as were many other titles, when I was in the Marines. I enjoyed it then and read it from time to time when between other books. It is a great piece of literature and is still relevant today for military and other endeavors.
Book Requests - Edgar Rice Burroughs
Anything by Burroughs... Venus, Pellucidar, Barsoom series would be great.
