I'm not very good at reading plays. I do like Marlowe, but I also know when something is dry. Dude was a cactus in a desert, wasn't he? Anyway, Faustus and Malta were groovy, I wanted Tamburlaine to be as awesome as its story was, and Eddie wasn't nearly h o m o e r o t i c enough but that was darn decent too. I'm glad I finally got around to reading these.
