Elusive Moose - Get your Antlers on

Get your Antlers on

 
The Sound and the Fury- William Faulkner (took about three reads of Benjy's section, but I FINALLY worked it out. Slowness)
The Grapes of Wrath- Steinbeck
Pinter Plays collection 3- Pinter (oddly enough)
Suddenly Last Summer & Other Plays- Tennessee Williams
Theadra's Love- Sarah Kane
Topdog/Underdog- Suzan Lori-Parks

That's all I've had to get hold of for this term, save for one Hemmingway novel I've got to find. Actual amazement. (Unfortunately not all I have to read, but The Complete Works of Shakespeare can take care of that. Plus the dissertation reading. Le sigh)

F*cking hell, what a reading list

Sarah Kane's f*cking weird though. Best play in that Pinter collection is The Homecoming (I think it's in that one anyway). Excellent stuff, although The Lover remains me favourite by him. What's the Hemingway novel you're after?

The Sun Also Rises- any good?

The Homecoming's actually the one we're doing. I was totally anti-Pinter after seeing a not-so-great performance of Landscape, but actually quite loving that collection. Probably a good thing seeing as he's someone I'm going to have to concentrate quite a bit of for the dissertation...

And at least we're not doing Blasted...

The Sun Also Rises is an excellent book. Hemingway's good right across the board, actually, and that one's a really good starting point.

The Homecoming is a one of Pinter's best, I think, the female lead in it (cannae remember her name) is brilliant. There was a production of it when I was at Uni with Pete Postlethwaite in it which I really wanted to see but I couldn't get tickets for sh*t

I just went to the shop to buy a hundred watt screw cap lightbulb and actually came back with a pack of chewing gum, some Flora and a bag of lemons, plus

The Righteous by Martin Gilbert
Roger's Version by John Updike

and

This 'n' That by Bette Davis.

No lightbulb, alas, but the books only cost me two fifty for the three, and I'll start reading one of them in due course this afternoon

Rayanne Graff: i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.
the doc: Wow, a proper old head
Rayanne Graff: Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.
satansrubberduck: I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.
Rayanne Graff: No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.
satansrubberduck: Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.
satansrubberduck: Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.
Claire: It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...
