I love reading. I read more than three hours a day. I hope to encourage someone to read the books I discuss. My favorite genres are classics, plays, children's books, and short stories.

House of Bernarda Alba
I wonder if Thomas Cullinan, the writer of The Beguiled, read this play. I actually liked it just as much as Lorca's Blood Wedding. It concerns a controlling widow whose husband has just died and her household of repressed spinster daughters. Eventually a few of them go crazy about a guy in town and it eventually leads to tragedy. It took me a while to get into it but I found the play entertaining. Lorca was a pretty good playwright whose life was cut short by an assassination. It's terribly tragic since the man was so talented. I need to give his poetry a chance now.
