OK, make that The tempest and not Winter's tale - knew something was wrong as I was posting it, but my mind could just not figure it out. Maybe I need more sleep! No, I did not read 'the Scottish play'Is it worth it? Yes Macbeth IS difficult, but I think I should do it, even if it is with the modern translation next to me. I do think though it would be more worthwhile than Much ado... I hope so anyway!

Try the Kenneth Branagh movie version. Gorgeous Italian countryside and all Shakespeare's lovely words make much more sense when you see them enacted.
Finding your own North Star - Martha Beck

Martha is incredibly smart and witty. This book is about finding your dream and realising it. Easy read, absolutely worthwhile. I bought it a while back and is very sorry, I did not read it earlier. I cried, I laughed and now I am dreaming and scheming...
The road less travelled - M.Scott Peck

from LorraineJoubert  LorraineJoubert

Read this book this week! Excellent! I don't understand though how it became a bestseller. Peck is an academic and he was not using everyday, easy to understand English.. Also, the concepts he is describing is not everyday concepts and IS difficult to grasp! Add to that, that I have not yet met anybody who WANTS to grasp these concepts and I do not understand how 10mill copies of this book was sold?? I also think one should read it more than once... I would have to read it once as a therapist, then as someone who has to love myself, as someone who wants to love another, as a potential parent, as a believer, etc... In the end though it means one has to buy this book and not merely borrow it.

No, actually it is spot on "I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
