Picked up a plastic-wrapped old paperback copy of Shakespeare's Sonnets combined with F Scott Fitzgerald's novella The Dog of Doubt, or maybe it was The Dog in Doubt. Price wasn't bad but the juxtaposition of two such dissimilar works had me scornful. And it was printed in some faded red ink like the Sermon on the Mount in a cheap Bible so I dropped it and moved on.

read the sonnets and lucrece for class, very quickly, too quickly really. Reading Venus & Adonis now. Much different from the Shakespeare I'm used to.

I can read Venus over and over. I don't know if it's good but I sure love it. The sonnets as a sequence are very strange, Lucrece strange, mean and unrereadable.
