I finished Othello today. This is the slowest I've ever read a Shakespeare play. I think for the next one, I'm going to just take an afternoon and read the whole play. When I picked the book back up I often found that I had forgotten what had happened in the last part I had read. All in all it wasn't bad though. I think my opinion of it will be higher if I ever reread it (there's precedence... I enjoyed Hamlet and King Lear more the second times around).

I'm slowly making my way through A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I haven't been feeling great lately, so I've been watching a lot of TV instead of reading. Hopefully I'll be feeling better soon and the reading will pick up again.
