I just read Antigone for Theater Appreciation class.

I had to read "Oedipus Rex" last year, and this year in one of my classes a teacher was talking about it and wanted somebody to offer a summary of it, so I did! Yay! $\:D/$ I think I saw part of a film version of Antigone - it was an older version, and it was kind of interesting, though I think the full thing was really long. It sounds like you're keeping busy, COT!

You mean the lame film version where everyone is british and half of them have cockney accents?

Saw it. Read both of those plays as well. CREEEEPY!

Just finished "Understanding Psychology", and now I'm re-reading "The Taming of the Shrew" and some essays by William Charles...at least I believe that's his name.

That might have been the version - I didn't see nearly the whole thing, but how many movie versions can there be of something like that?

Yeah...I think they were British. I have such a terrible memory. Both of those stories are rather freaky.

They're not that long of plays, but they do take several hours of my time with all the homework that goes along with them.

I finished Finding Noel by Richard Paul Evans. I LOVED it!!! I am going to re-read the Christmas Box trilogy since I have only read each of them once.

Ohh, mysteries! I read that not too long ago.

I just finished reading "The Grass Beyond the Mountains" and will start the second book, "Nothing Too Good For a Cowboy." They were written in the 1950s by Richmond P. Hobson Jr., and they're about his experiences in northern B.C during the 1930s - from about 1935-1937 in the first book, and the second book starts in 1939, tough I don't know how much time it covers yet. Probably also a couple years. It's really interesting! I started reading them because Yannick Bisson (see my sig

) is in the TV show that was made in the late 1990s called "Nothing Too Good For a Cowboy" and I'm obsessed.

And I get some Canadian history to boot, not to mention stories about people who almost lose their legs to hay mowers. $\:D/$

I'm reading The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. It's incredible--my faith is so strengthened! I've never read an apologetics book before, but I think I'm really going to get into them now! $\:D/$
