I just finished reading the Book Club thread. Wow, great insights there, azalea! Thanks again for pointing me to it.
It's a shame that you never got around to finishing it. Do you think we will get some response if we revive it? |

Actually it's still an 'active thread' so all you need do is post in it. No more revivals, I can't take the music

Finished The Three Musketeers. Fun book, lots of action, and some really fun plot twists!

The movie Carrie isn't too bad. They made "Firestarter and Firestarter 2"
with the Carrie fans in mind.

Alright, I congratulate you on the Doyle reading. It wasn't Sherlock though...hmm...rare I finished Chesterton's Orthodoxy. Great book, and amazing reasoning this guy posessed at age 34! I'll have to re-read it one day.

As for now, I have just finished Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. A real classic.

A play, that I remember. But an opera I do not recall.

Oh, I love Dorian Gray. There should really be an Oscar Wilde thread.
I'm reading the complete works of Shakespeare this summer. Unfortunately, P.G. Wodehouse has ruined Hamlet for me

What particularly? Did he write a humorous commentary on it or something?
Or do you just find yourself picking up Wodehouse when you really meant to plow through another Shakespeare play...(that would be me!). _____ Actually, I had to read Dorian Gray & Lord of the Flies (and Pygmalion) for summer reading for a class.
