AlegnaB † (alegnab) | 982 comments Two books are posted. The next player chooses which book she prefers (whether or not she has read them both). She then posts two different books for the following player to choose from.

Feel free to make comments about why (or why not) you're picking a certain book, as long as you don't include spoilers.

If you don't post a cover image, please make sure to include the links to the books or put titles and authors, since several books can have the same title.

Here we go:

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë Jane Eyre vs. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë Wuthering Heights

Macbeth by William Shakespeare or Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare


message 20: by AlegnaB † (last edited Jul 07, 2019 04:40AM) (new)

AlegnaB † (alegnab) | 982 comments Macbeth. Son #1 and I went to see Macbeth performed during the local Shakespeare festival. It was great, and a little startling when an actor came running down the aisle right beside us, brandishing his sword. 😄 I read the play in 2017 and enjoyed it. I've seen Romeo and Juliet as a movie (I think two different ones) and didn't like it. I think I read the play for a high school English class, but I'm not sure. I will probably read it (again?) someday since I eventually want to read all of Shakspeare's works.
