Reading A Tale of Two Cities

I am not fond of reading novels but this one really caught my attention. I am only into page 90. I am pretty slow coz I rarely read novels. Law school has helped me get some reading techniques though so at least I am not bored with it yet. What are the books you are reading?

I've started reading a bunch of novels and I never finished them. My attention span is crap when it comes to novels.

But I do read a lot of plays. Last one I adored was Willy Russell's Educating Rita. Such a charming little piece. Than some stuff from Moliere. Currently I'm reading Chekhov & Shakey's King Lear.

one of my favorite playwrights to read was Christopher Durang, but he's not very charming.

Haha, aw. I try not to allow tutors and books on acting (theory) to influence me too much if you get why, but I'll definitely try to read this one if you recommend. Shame I can't buy stuff online but I do have a friend/tutor whose house is basically a theatrical library, he might have it.

Ooooh keep going. A Tale of Two Cities is one of the best.

I am currently re-reading Brave New World.

But due to time constraints I can only get in about two pages per night if I'm lucky before I drift away... -.-

yeah i love it. Charles Dickens is epic. 🙂
