Bookclub book to be discussed next week! I packed a huge stack of books for my no longer existing trip to London 🤣 but I‘m sure I‘ll still have time to read! We haven‘t made alternate plans yet!
pickA funny retelling of Shakespeare‘s Taming of the Shrew. Anne Tyler sets this novel in Maryland. Kate Battista feels stuck in life. She‘s been caring for her scientist father and younger sister, seemingly forever. Her father is researching autoimmune diseases and his brilliant assistant is about to be deported. Pytor must either reapply for a visa or marry to be eligible for a green card. Unusual characters and circumstances abound. 3.5/5⭐️
"Caesar: 'The Ides of March are come.'
"Soothsayer: 'Ay, Caesar; but not gone.'"
-William Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar," Act III, Scene 1

The one and only political post I have ever made or ever will make. (probably, but who knows?)
pickYou can never have too much Shakespeare, or books about Shakespeare, specially when they're as erudite as this one.

Allusion #2: POUND OF FLESH
I still can't believe that THE MERCHANT OF VENICE is on our district's 7th grade reading list alongside A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT'S DREAM. If you had your choice, which play would you rather read as a 12-13-year old?
pickWow. Not sure if I want to give this 4 or 5 ⭐. So much drama and ALL the feels. The characters are barely likeable. Especially for Shakespeare fans. A lot of people have trouble with the ending.
I had to google it for further understanding and then I liked it.
