I still have a ponytail I need to wrap up and send off. lol<br /><br />Great haul! the books look fantastic, and I need to devote more time to Shakespeare. I've read the standards: Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Othello, Hamlet, and most of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The others: clueless!<br /><br />I feel some readalongs coming on. heheAndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-66016595478495445102011-02-27T21:03:09.117-05:002011-02-27T21:03:09.117-05:00I agree, a good haul!

I just got one too (I needed a computer powerful enough to run the new software I need to learn) and am having way to much fun with it!

I just downloaded that particular Hardy's novel to my iPad the other day. Planning on reading it over spring break.

These invariable spark my thinking in wholly new directions. Very nice. <br /><br />If you ever find yourself in DC, check out a Folger production on their intimate little stage. Right now they are doing Comedy of Errors and it is one of the best Shakespeare productions I've seen in a long time. Very kid friendly, too.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543197858284977937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-538011384708654592011-02-27T11:58:15.648-05:002011-02-27T11:58:15.648-05:00Great haul and yay for the new laptop!Great haul and yay for the new laptop!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-8386779295779732522011-02-27T11:46:42.934-05:002011-02-27T11:46:42.934-05:00Hooray for new books, new hair and a new computer!...Hooray for new books, new hair and a new computer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-37130575296637738812011-02-27T11:00:46.574-05:002011-02-27T11:00:46.574-05:00Wow, your Shakespeare books are intensely huge!
