A lot of details for an audiobook, but interesting nonetheless.

Restarting. Needed an easy read at night. Read first 50 pp. some time ago.

First letter is about possessing time: “Omnia, Lucili, aliena sunt, tempus tantum nostrum est.”

Listened to King Lear. A first encounter for me, and not all was clear with the audiobook, but I grasp at least that basically everyone dies :)

Whitman is growing on me a bit. I particularly like his poem "Tears." Here are a few lines:

TEARS! tears! tears!
In the night, in solitude, tears,
On the white shore dripping, dripping, suck'd in by the sand,
...
O who is that ghost? that form in the dark, with tears?
What shapeless lump is that, bent, crouch'd there on the sand?
Streaming tears, sobbing tears, throes, choked with wild cries...

Decent on audio. Interesting story so far.

Weird, repetitive ghost stories.

Listened to Othello. Shakespeare is so much better listened to than read.

Weird in a good way

Whitman’s poetry is simple and patriotic. Not my taste so far.
