Book XIV: Measure for Measure, William Shakespeare, 1604, 205 pages
“Some rise by sin and some by virtue fall”. Finally a new book. Those Hemingway short stories took me forever to read. Talk about the most depressing collection of writings I have read since Oliver Twist (see blog Chris’ Notes, Oliver Twist). At the time I was in the mood for such. Being its summer now and feeling rather nostalgic for NYC’s Shakespeare in the park free play series I thought why not read Measure for Measure. I actually have never read this play. I scored it for a quarter at a garage sale a few months back. Its time. The last book took me nearly 7 months to read, which in my opinion is completely disgraceful. My goal is to finish this one by the end of the month. Feel Free to pick up a copy and read a long with me.
If you missed the Book XIII The First Forty Nine Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway click this link. I will not be doing a Chris’ notes entry on this book cause it was a collection of fifty stories and I am not about to take that on. There were some really insightful entries and serious introspection to be had. I think it is definitely worth picking up for a read. There are few authors as powerful as Hemingway.
