Not read a huge amount over the past couple of months; part of the ennui that I'm under. But whilst I had a cold, I listened to a couple of audiobooks from a certain William Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare - Anthony and Cleopatra
Listened to this as it links in with my general studies around the Greeks and Romans. This play though was based upon the writings of Plutarch's "Life of Mark Anthony" that was translated in 1579 by Sir Thomas North. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.
Faulkner - Cleopatra greeting Antony
William Shakespeare - Julius Caesar
From Plutarch's 'Lives' again. Excellent stuff though really it should be called Brutus, as he has four times the lines of Caesar.
