"Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead" by Tom Stoppard. It's a play! And BRILLIANT!

I'm still on The Pilgrimage, school work delays me... and I'm very disappointed that no one dares posting in my Paulo Coelho thread. *sigh*

Poor Ea. I would if i had any idea who he was.
Still Babbitt, but I'm almost done with it now. Except I'm sad because my favorite character, the one who I thought was like me, went beserk and shot his wife and is now rotting away in jail. *sadness* At least the book is finally getting interesting after 24 chapteres of monotony though.

Wormtongue??? *shivers* Creepy...
I'm reading the first of the Circle Trilogy, Black, by Ted Dekker. (The man's a freaking genius!) _________________

Ooh, sounds interesting, eowyn. I love medieval literature.
Um, since I finished Star Wars Republic Commando: Triple Zero last night, I'm not reading anything besides A Tale of Two Cities right now. That book is getting a little more interesting (I wish I was allowed to read ahead--then I'd move on to something more interesting) but we're going through it at a crawl.

it really is fantastic. i've been reading a lot of anglo-saxon poetry lately, which uses quite high language and likes to deal with the supernatural and preach morals, but the sagas seem to be much more down to earth and have a greater sense of humour - the kings and nobles sit and be grumpy in their living-rooms, get boils on their feet, whinge that their wives won't sleep with them and use expressions like "i don't know what he's up to". i love that sense of the everyday in the sagas.
i'm onto hen-thorir now. _________________ <center>

My friends all think I'm weird for liking medieval literature, which they claim is hard to read, but....I think I'm weird too, so their opinion doesn't make much of a difference. _________________

Thanks T.T. *pauses* Err... might I recommend some litterature! How about an intriguing author called Paulo Coelho? *shifty eyes* Interesting book you're on... ! eowyn of ithilien wrote: i'm currently reading an icelandic saga called gunnlaug wormtongue (now where have i heard that name before?). i love it - medieval literature really is the best.
Read that too... or rather my grandmother read a lot of Norse mythology and Icelandic sagas to me!!
Concerning Medieval litterature. Last semester I was writing a history assignment on the various versions of the Legends of the Grail. I've never read about so many damsels in distress in my life before!! lol
Actually it seems like there are many people who like Medieval litterature. Perhaps the scholar (eowyn) or another (Aerandir) should open a thread on the topic. I'd visit if you did!!  _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<

You are a scholar, you major in Medieval Lit. aye?
And I'm almost positive there isn't a thread on Medieval litterature yet, so I'll be looking forward to visit your. _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<
