I have more books than friends.

HERACLES: *grunts softly*

I grunt whenever I can’t seem to fathom a clear opinion on something. Boybands, herbal teas, the pros and cons of hair masks – ask me my thoughts on any of these, and I’ll you’ll receive is a pig-like grunt. No wonder I’m single. Alas, Heracles is another addition to this list. It’s like a… Read More HERACLES: *grunts softly*

ELECTRA: I Made Notes!

I haven’t made proper, proper notes on a book since the hell of Of Mice and Men. In all honesty, I thought that I would have a relaxed summer holiday without picking up a pen. But no, stupid brain thinks that making three pages of notes on a play that I’M NOT EVEN STUDYING is… Read More ELECTRA: I Made Notes!

HECABE: Get the tissues out

I bawled my way through Hecabe. Tears were streaming down my face for ten minutes, until I realised that Hecabe would go all ‘strong independent woman’ on me and take wonderful revenge on Polymestor. I’m not condoning killing children and wrenching people’s eyes out, but in my opinion, Polymestor deserved it. This is the first… Read More HECABE: Get the tissues out

MEDEA: Even better than the soaps

Having temporarily flung away The Reading List – I can hear the gasps from the English department even now – I burrowed back into my extensive Greek collection. I didn’t care what I picked out, as long as it didn’t involve graphic scenes of sex/murder/cannibalism. Turns out there wasn’t any cannibalism, at least. And the… Read More MEDEA: Even better than the soaps

I know the effect is somewhat damaged by the 'FOH - Copy' on the front, but beggars can't be choosers, and this was delivered from the hands of Robert Icke himself, so I'm not complaining. A production that changed the way I think of theatre, and the text is well worth a read regardless of whether you've seen it. Another good read is my latest blog post, about dystopian typicality, 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale. (cue English revision klaxon) • #1984 #bookstagram #bookblog #bookblogger #literaryemporium #roberticke
I'm new to this bookstagram malarkey, bear with me and my dodgy editing skills in a desperate attempt to find a Unique Aesthetic and never quite succeeding. The Handmaid's Tale is the only book I've not revised thus far, and it's unlikely that I'll start this weekend. Eerily prescient, yadda yadda yadda. The best of Atwood's novels thus far.
bookstagramming during exam season is probably a really shitty decision, but I'm back . I love Margaret Atwood, love the silk jumpsuit making up the background, bloody hated this book. Didn't even finish it. Full review on the blog soon. Probably.
