joeybagadonuts Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Never read Tortilla Flats. I read Grapes of Wrath and The Pearl and that was enough for me to dislike Steinbeck. What have you read from ol Shakey?All the standard high school stuff Romeo and Juliet Macbeth Mid summers night dream Hamlet Othello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAG Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Other than “Et tuBrute?” the only Shakespeare I could probably quote is “Romeo Romeo where for art thou Romeo? Deny thy father......”. and “Friends, Romans, Countrymen.... “ I do have a spot for that one. Don’t believe I’ve ever read an entire Shakespearean play. If I have, it is long forgotten.

IAG Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Much to quote from in Othello. hemingway my all time favorite , then Walker Percy Not familiar with Othello...other than the board game. I was just thinking that my favorite book from high school was The Sun also Rises. I think I have a copy around here somewhere. I should probably take a look at it. I don’t remember much about it other than the running of the bulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have intensely studied and enjoyed all his work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Hoffa Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'm not sure what's tougher... Reading Shakespeare or learning latin. Both nearly impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterman Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I am sure "The Grapes of Wrath" has been long banned. I actually memorized a poem from it "I never met a wigger with a trigger that was bigger than an elephant's plecibis or the wanger of a whale. I remember reaching for the dictionary for plecebis(can't spell). Try Henry James "The Portrait of a Lady" for a taste of complete mastery of the English language. Even "The Turn of the Screw" by him is pretty awesome(and nice and short) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAG Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'm not sure what's tougher... Reading Shakespeare or learning latin. Both nearly impossible.Puella PuellaePuellaePuellam Gets a little fuzzy as far as declensions after that. Probably one of those rote memorization deals where I will have thiose words committed to memory for life.... Also, I will likely be reciting the 23 linking verbs, along with the 23rd Psalm, when I leave this earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HinesWard86 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 One of the best things about Arabic is how logical it is once you start learning it. Most words come from a three or four letter verb, and they are all related. For instance درس studyدرَس teach مدرس teacherمدرسة school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
