I sincerely hope that it will be very many long years before you are in a position to assess the veracity of what you have just read.

I just read Shakespeare's last play, TWO NOBLE KINSMEN (written with John Fletcher). Highly recommended. Like THE SONNETS, a fascinating exploration of gender and sexuality.

I guess you'll know from what sonnet I'm quoting?

"So shalt thou feed on death, that feeds on men;
but death once dead, there's no more dying then."

Currently reading a joint biography of Henry Fonda and James Stewart. It's interesting how the author can tell the stories of these actors -- both individually and together without confusing the reader.

Just finished Simon Winchester’s The Man Who Loved China for which I rummaged through the nearby Salvation Army bookstore for three years and turned out to be well worth the wait. With it I also picked up one of my fave writers, William Boyd’s Sweet Caress both of which feature protagonists who chain smoked and still managed to live to ripe old age. I first came across William Boyd through his novel Blue Afternoon, about riveting invented and historical events that happened towards the end of American military occupation of Manila in the 1900s. He also wrote a James Bond novel commissioned by the 007 franchise.

Am now in the middle of Peter Ackroyd’s Shakespeare. Beautiful writing, wisely argued conjectures, features Shakespeare under a loving and sympathetic light, resists being put down once started. His history of London is next in line.
