wednesday still not much reading
Another week of not reading much -- busy with all the other things on my plate right now. But I did participate in Shakespeare, so that's something.
All's Well that Ends Well, William Shakespeare. Another Shakespeare play I hadn't read before. It's an odd one: clearly by the same guy who did Twelfth Night, but not nearly as good, probably because everything is better with cross-dressing. Also, yeah, this play is totally about sex. Helena is a protagonist who I would have found a lot more sympathetic as a teenager. It feels like the sort of play that ought to be analyzed more than enjoyed, but I'm not up to analyzing it.
I should try to read more! I'm thinking of picking up Howl's Moving Castle for comfort reading... Sophie in her hat shop feels very relatable right now.
