...pretty, vigorous, thoughtful, this Hamlet expands the story with helpful flashbacks; Yorick, Priam, Old Norway come alive as if from a vivid history book. The full version restores Shakespeare's emphasis on court politics, with whispers of intrigue that establish Hamlet and Laertes as potential usurpers of Claudius' throne, and massed armies behind Hamlet. Here he might be a Henry V who's gone just this side of bonkers...

We continue to happily munch Tommy’s Pizza’s constipation pies or the Hong Kong Chinese’s fried crab bowel dragoons as if the next day’s visit to the porcelain throne is going to be any different than the last.

...other, has commenced with this tradition of literary pursuits. Surrounded by bookshelves, I am forced to contemplate the decisions of summers passed. Were there books read—or rather flings established—that were mistakes? In my memory, some books rest on a glorified, yet historically based, throne of accomplishment that is perhaps undeserved. With these books, namely those that have made my thefacebook.com list of favorites, I have established what are clearly not just flings but long-term relationships...
