No big news to pass along from yesterday … it was a very quiet day for David and me. I have a lot of reading to do so I really needed to stay in and get some of that finished. I really wanted to finish Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann which I started a couple of weeks ago and I finally managed to get it done. OMG, what a fabulous book. I loved every bit of it … those of you who mentioned in the comments that I would love that book were so right. I really need to watch the movie version now … so much fun!! I also needed to get some reading done on Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. The Turtle Party: Book Club meets tonight and I am supposed to have half of the book read … well, I did get some reading done but not the required half … mainly because I started reading a new biography of William Shakespeare that I simply cannot put down:

Biographies on Shakespeare are all pretty much made up of conjecture primarily because there aren’t many records left by Shakespeare himself and he never left any writings about his personal life. This new book, Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare by Stephen Greenblatt is really a fantastic read. He manages to paint a portrait of what Shakespeare‘s life *may* have been like based on anecdotal evidence left by his contemporaries. The writing is really superb and Shakespeare‘s life is wholly fascinating.

In any event, that’s pretty much what I did yesterday … tonight, I meet up with the other Turtle Party folks. It’ll be good to see everyone.
