But I need to re-read Footfalls so I can write about how deep it was despite the fact it has absolutely no meaning whatsoever.


School assignment? I love reading, but mostly hated all the books that school assigned. The choices aren't any better in college either.

It's reading for an introductory drama class and will almost certainly be on the upcoming midterm. There are supposed to be themes of existentialism, but there are so many better books that convey the same message. I'd rather read something by Camus or Jean-Paul Sartre or maybe Grendel than a 3deep5me 3 page play that shoehorns Christianity into the very last scene.

Oh, and all the dialogue is written like this:

I walk here now. (Pause.) Rather I come and stand. (Pause.) At nightfall. (Pause.)

I hate this play so goddamn much.

Oh boy it's written in script form? Yeah those are neverrr fun. I had to do that with Pygmalion last year, absolutely miserable.

We had to read Grendel too, that was pretty good as far as assigned books go.

Personally, nothing is better than a good sci-fi. Reading Bowl of Heaven by Gregory Benford right now. Good stuff.
