Waiting for Godot

This is famous for being a play about nothing. It kind of reminds of "My dinner with Andre" where nothing much happens, just a lot of talking, but you feel that something important has happened. Two characters wait for a figure called Godot. As the play goes on, you realize that Godot is flawed and not a saint, maybe not worth the wait. Messenger boys come which give the characters the sense that Godot will arrive. The reason why I read it is because the actors behind "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are doing a revival. I keep seeing ads on Facebook for it. I don't have the money to fly out to New York but that would be fun to watch. Reading it I guess is the second best thing.

Brazilian Mythology

I don't know why Brazilian mythology is not better known. There is some pretty interesting folklore here. I read more about botos. They are weredolphins (aka encantados). (I wrote a story about them once.) There's also a bit about their boogeymen. I also want to read Monteiro Lobato's Saci even though I heard that there's much to be desired with the English translation. If you want to delve into the mythology of a culture that is not really talked about here is the way to go.
