really liked it

ROMEO: Peace, peace, Mercutio, peace!
Thou talk’st of nothing.

MERCUTIO: True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air
And more inconstant than the wind.

Read this one many years ago so it was time for a reread. Witty, sarcastic, and sad, enjoyed it all over again.

Haha. I remember having to read Silas Marner at school, didn’t like it and reread it a few years ago. Still didn’t like it much!

Joe Krakovsky Yes, I will need to read this someday. I only saw the movie, and probably a hundred skits based on this great book of lovers.

So many books to read though Marilyn, it’s difficult to get round to some of these classics 🤗


Meredith (Trying to catch up!) It has been a long time since I first read this. You have inspired me to re read, Maureen!
