Hamlet 2 was so incredibly awesome. Loved it.

Anyway, I'm reading Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. It's really good thus far.

Humbly disagree. I found it pretentious to the extreme with very uninteresting writing and a ridiculous storyline required to construe a miserable and opinionative moral behind the book.

Usually a lot of spy/thriller/espionage stuff but that stuff is hard to come by these days.

Presently, Paulo Coelho - The Alchemist

Hi there I'm reading Ishmael right now. It's about the general consensus that humanity and the dominating culture of take what you can and don't look back, is doomed to continue existing unless is changes drastically... It is quite an eye opener, a bit depressing even.
Has anyone read it? Thoughts?

Have not read it but it is right about humanity and things are only bound to get worse...

I've watched C*ck and Bull story which is a sketchy approach to making Tristram Shandy into a movie and I've seen Hamlet performed by my secondary school when the drama class in my year did it for their A Level play in a very much cliff-notes version. Never heard of the two combined.

I'll probably end up giving up on Tristram Shandy 5 pages in, like I did last time I tried to tackle it, and reading MacBeth instead.

yeah no it's two different movies, connected since they both star steve coogan. i'd definitely recommend hamlet 2.

Yeah, whoevers reading the Alchemist....I recommend you stop, the guy who posted after me when I said I was reading it a few days, well while a bit harsh, was right.

I'm catching up with my Sunday Times....rofl. Then I shall move onto some Gabriel Garcia Marquez, most likely "Love In The Time Of Cholera"

I love Marquez. ....Cholera was a great cozy read. , A Thousand Years of Solitude was even better IMO
