    As for plays--I had to read Angels in America for an acting class I took a long time ago. I had seen the film already by that time, but it's of course a totally different experience. Had a summer where I read a whole bunch of Tennessee Williams. I did a monologue from Equus for that acting class, too--has some of the most gorgeously lyrical writing I've heard. Kind of disappointed when I read Amadeus and didn't find it similar. Ooo, and I love Oscar Wilde's Salome!

    It's not something I keep up with really, though. I'm very interested in postmodernism, and I've always thought I would get interested in Beckett if I tried to read him. And Pinter. But who knows?

    Ooh! Beckett is so wonderful. Waiting for Godot is one of the best plays I've ever seen. And if you're going to read any Pinter, I'd suggest Betrayal! Two great playwrights :)

    Oh, you must read Equus. It's...amazing.

    And yeah, dark chocolate is good. I just know buying it can tempt me to horrible excess....

    One for the Road by Pinter is also pretty great.

    Oh and True West by Shepard. A classic.
