Romeo and Juliet (go ahead and make fun, I sort of deserve it)

i ahd to read that in 9th grade english. Shakespeare surley makes for fun tests, i got a 120 on the test, though r and j is actually one of his more boring works, Hamlet, and macbeth are much better.

^^Hamlet is one of Shakespeares best "stories" I think he was a much better poet..

I don't know about Romeo and Juliet not being as good, I think to an extent the story has had such a big impact on so much romantic fiction since then that a lot of the ideas in Romeo and Juliet almost seem cliched... when in fact they were borrowed from Romeo and Juliet in the first place. Depends upon your perpective.

I was reading 'Shalimar the Clown' by Salman Rushdie but I think I left it in Australia :(

Oh, RIGHT-TRACK, now I've started reading 'The Wasp Factory'. You were right, 'tis mighty good and quite the oddity.

Recently finished 'Breakfast of Champions' by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., great book!

Currently working my way through 'The Message' by Eugene H. Peterson. I recently said it was written by God, but it was, in fact, a man who authored the novel. It is a novel, I think.

On the Road again

and this random book I found in my library from like 1910 called the Psychology of Sex. The terminology it uses is amusing

Boring? I don't know about that.

A Comedy of Errors and As You Like It are probably my favorites of Shakeypoo. Although I do have a soft spot for The Tempest -.^


Right nooowww I am reading Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs - Klosterman, a little late I'll admit... but I finished Killing Yourself to Live not too long ago. Concurrently, I am reading Rock of Ages: The Rolling Stone History of Rock & Roll, and as soon as I am finished with the Klosterman novel I'll start on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - a book by Philip K. D!ck, who you might know as the author of A Scanner Darkly, and Blade Runner.

Huckleberry Finn. It was too southern....Alittle over southern but it had a good message.

That sounds like a promotional campaign for the book.
