Maybe. He’s good. Read most of his stuff. Some of them many times.
Macbeth for example. Done films, plays, opera, ballet. Readings, paintings, dance.
Great stuff. Don’t dismiss de bard!

From the picture I just read The Hobbit.
I’my entries would be The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking and The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann.
Really liked that one.

Everyone ought to read animal farm and nineteen eighty four. They’re not long, rambling novels, so even if you’re not particularly engaged in the story it only takes a few hours to finish them.
