#ShakespeareReadalong Would you choose the love, passion, and fun of Egypt, or the cool, rational politics of Rome? Give me Egypt every time!

“There is no later. This is later”.
Definitely finding ‘bleak‘ comforting at the moment. No flowers in this book yet...

All the garden centres are closed but don‘t worry, there‘s a book for that...

Ooh wonderful white #ispy
Thanks for the tag!
Can anyone who hasn‘t yet had a go find something lilac?

Strangely soothing, and available for free (including full-colour plates) on various websites.

It‘s better to live with a clever woman than a pretty one...I‘m sure my partner is well aware of this when I‘m banging on about Shakespeare while he‘s trying to watch TV #the professor

Finally starting #theprofessor

Went through this lucky village in Cheshire today. They have turned a decommissioned public phone box into their own little library...cute!

“...books are the only article of property in which I am richer than my neighbours”. Well I‘ve got one thing in common with de Quincey then (two if you include his love of tea) - but thankfully not an addiction to opium!

I‘m very excited about one of my xmas presents. Not sure if Austen could spell ‘friendship‘ though! Mmm...which one to read first I wonder...
