For anyone who read The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, should have no trouble figuring out who the little girl in this video is. Also...see if you can get a glimpse of what is written on the chalk board in the class room.
Side note, I found this tune nice to dance too when nobody watching.

A while ago I got this gigantic book of the complete works of Shakespeare, so I've been reading the Comedy of Errors. The plot is a kind of funny sort of nonsense but I realize I'm not getting the jokes at all. Still, I can at least keep track of what's going on, so I've got that going for me

Have you ever tried reading the Empire Strike Back?
I know there is a book version of it written to tell the movie story from the language of Shakespeare time.

I've never read it, (But my A.P. Literature Teacher one mention it, and I saw a copy at a Barns and Noble once, the cover was quite convincing.)

I'm not really a big fan of when people in the modern day decide to imitate Shakespeare-style writing... I'm all for writing in iambic pentameter (sometimes I'll write "prose" in meter like that; it just sounds lyrical when spoken) but there's nothing superior about using archaic words.

I've never heard of this book version, though. It might be really good.

Is reading NYPD RED.

Not sure what's the hype with this book. A pretty good police procedure book, but its feels quite disposable and cliche at best. Fun, but unmemorable.

Finished 'Laws of Magic' by Michael Pryor.
Interesting, from what I've read it seems to be in an alternate timeline where the Romans never became so powerful and the Celtic tribes became supreme in the West.
Still has a good old feel of steampunk and the occasional WW1 trait to it.

Has anyone read 'The Long Earth' or 'The Long War', both by Stephen Baxter and Terry Pratchett?

i bought and read "Last Night in Tremore Beach", it's the only novel book i read this summer so far.

I have just finish reading the complete Alan Moore series "From Hell".
Its his version about the Jack the Ripper Case. Where the Prostitutes were murder in order to keep a scandal with the grandson of Queen Victoria, who slept with a woman he was not married too. Who then got pregnant, and married him. The worst part was she was Scottish.

The 4 prostitutes knew about the scandal and proceeded to blackmail not the prince, but his brother for money they need to pay off to the people they own money too. The murder was the the Rolay Doctor, who also happen to be a free mason. He was ask to take care of the situation, but to do it quietly, not in a way that attract attention.

Personally, I'm glad we don't know who Jack the Ripper was. At least as far as we don't have a reason why he did it. Cause...if there are things in this world that should not be known, is reason and logic as to why the killer went to the extreme lengths he did with the killing.

Sorry to ruin your day, but we DO know who he was. DNA analysis is a wonderful thing.
