clo_againStill not ded. Only I slept for about four hours earlier and yet I'm still tired, so I should probably go to bed. Have to actually get up and do work all morning, given that I have a creative writing seminar and a meeting about my dissertation, neither of which I've done any work for yet. Except for buying Diana Wynne Jones's The Tough Guide to Fantasyland which is kind of not so much work as "using the dissertation as a convenient excuse". You think I chose fantasy novels to study on a whim? Hah. Five words: licence to buy awesome books.
My life resounds with dullness. Except I get to read Titus Andronicus for next week and, considering the first words I came across in the introduction were *mother-son cannabilism*, perhaps it's set to get more interesting.
edit: *Awesome*. I've been desperate to read this particular fic again but couldn't remember where I'd read it or found it recced... only to glance at my memories and find it right there. Um. Duh.
So I may have recced it before but I've actually watched a series and a half of SG: Atlantis now, so I feel a little more qualified when I say it's fantasic.

synecdochic. Beautiful and heartbreaking and possibly my favourite Rodney *ever*. Possibly I love it for the university side or for the fact it made me late for a lecture AND cry back when I first read it or maybe just because it's one of the best things I've read. Ever.
Words don't do it justice, not even close. I'm so happy I actually remembered to memorise it all that time ago. ^___^

Date: 2006-10-19 12:09 am (UTC)I still think Hamlet's my favorite play though. Followed closely by Julius Caesar if only because of the time I played Cassius (I sometimes love making male roles into female ones. Cassius is a fun one to do that with).

Date: 2006-10-20 09:22 pm (UTC)We read Hamlet in first year and it was awesome, especially when I hadn't realised how many things I'd read and seen before were actually quoting from it. Haven't read Caesar, though I've got it sitting in my copy of the 'All Shakespeare's Plays Ever in One GIGANTIC Book' (we all hate that book. Carrying it to seminars? So not fun) so I might have to take a look. Might be just 'cause I had a great teacher for it but nothing beats Much Ado About Nothing for me. The snark never gets old.
