Are you taking a course on American 20th century plays? Did you see the film with Brando? It's good.

Yes well, no, actually I'm interested in american literature and I decided to start with the classics.
I still haven't seen the movie. I love Brando, and I picture no one else playing Stanley.

I LOVE THAT MOVIE. It's not exact with the play though, but as racy as a 1950's movie can get.

amazing read

still reading 'our posthuman future' by Fukuyama.. must read for anyone interested in the future of anthropology/biotech/human nature

Virginia Woolf - To the Light House. <cringe> I don't know what it is about British women writers, but reading them is really tiresome to me
