A nice collection of Oscar Wilde's plays. The Importance of being Earnest is so funny, I laughed out loud more than once, the concept of Bunburying absolutely brilliant.Lady Windermere's fan was probably my favourite, less funny but the characters have a bit more flesh. Some characters and dialogues of A woman of no importance reminded me a bit too much of The Picture of Dorian Gray and felt like a re-read at times, but I really enjoyed the plot⬇️

nanuska_153 I liked An Ideal Husband although I found the resolution of the problems a bit forced, I read afterwards that Wilde struggled to find a solution for it and I think it shows. Salome was my least favourite, but I find Biblical themes and language exhausting, so it was never going to be for me. Really enjoyed all the plays overall, I will revisit them in the future, you just don't get tired of Wilde's intelligent dialogues. 2h

Giggles aplenty. 😁
Highlights from this volume include:
Woman huffing kitty cat, then adopting/absconding with the one in the cat cafe that reminds her of her husband
Medical professional critiquing the drama set up by Tatsu and Miku to entertain a kid in the hospital
Of COURSE, the continuing adventures surrounding a retired mob boss and his darling dog Pinky
Competitive haiku with the adorable father-in-law along for the ride

Absurd in a way that leaves me grinning.
Fave of this volume was of course dogs + mobsters episode.
Other highlights include:
Food that transports via sense memory people back to moments in their past that wreak emotional devastation in the most entertaining way possible
The flair with which house husband and nerd team up for the pursuit of prizes
Poor Masa repeatedly ending up that worse for wear thanks to the power couple's good intentions

In this dystopian satire, movies have been replaced by "advertainment," and the most popular product is the Claustrosphere, a bio-shelter designed to help the owner survive the eco-death of the Earth. Skewering Hollywoood, consumerism and corporate greed in equal measure, the story follows a screenwriter, a star, an eco-terrorist, a celebrity activist & Plastic Tolstoy, the all powerful business tycoon. Over the top but also somehow all too real.

Hey Littens,

I hope the motivation to read some classics is not affected by the heat (at least over here in Germany it is very, very hot). 🥵🌴

For the 3rd quarter, we'll tackle some stage writing!

Grab some lemonade, enjoy and tag me in your posts!☀️🏖

I love this #WDNCW. @dabbe I don't care about the Menonite vendor who refused to sell me strawberries before the market opened because she didn't want to not have any before opening time. Meanwhile, I'm also a vendor and needed to be at my booth at opening time. So I bought strawberries at another place on the way home that were nicer. Some people really irk me. 😊

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks That was rude of her!! But we do not care 😂😂 6d
LiseWorks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks that's right 😂 6d

Superb silliness continues...
Highlights include:
Halloween costume contest
Fighting a cold with memorably aggressive imagery
Could NOT stop cringing during the attempts at rap, I think that was intentional?
