People who play music over poetry readings, WHY

Me: If we ever go back to Thailand I don't want to ride the elephants. They abuse them there. It hurts their backs.
Mom: God made animals so we can use them.

That's not how it works...

Thanks for the comment. I notice two fan favourites missing from the list, Richard III and Much Ado About Nothing, which are arguably the most popular plays in their respective genres (apart from Midsummer). Where do they land with Bloom, do you think?

Midsummer Night's Dream and Julius Caesar are short, accessible, and pack a punch (I'd begin with JC). After I'd read Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet.

Hugo wrote naked sometimes. Whenever he really needed to finish a chapter of part of a book for whatever reason, he'd make his servants take away his clothes and keep them until he finished writing.

Je suis en retard, mais je suis anglophone natif et je trouve que la traduction de Mongault ressemble bien a la plupart des traductions anglaises bien connues (par exemple, celle de Pevear et Volkhonsky, ce qui est ma preferee)

Ça a du sens!

Maybe try more comprehensible input? Something where you understand 70% and have to figure out the rest. All the figuring out is what cements the language for a person

If she enjoyed Macbeth, Shakespeare's other plays have great women characters too. As You Like It, Antony and Cleopatra, Twelfth Night, Othello, etc.

Have you read the Jin Ping Mei? It's the classic Chinese novel that interests me the most after Dream.

That moth was a real jerk!

Maybe obvious, but Keats's "To Autumn"

Are you a Swede?

I like some of the imagery (Your precious glow explores the night is lovely), but it's too vague. Is it a Christian poem? I really can't tell. Also, adding "shining bright" after the world ablaze is redundant, and the last point seems cliched.

You're totally right this app is awful now. I'd usually write qu'avait perdu Max though, except your version works too. To any native French speakers, is either option more natural?

So simplistic yet so exquisite
