Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

At one Hamlet performance I saw, the couple behind me spent the ENTIRE FREAKING PLAY gasping and saying "Oh, that's where that line is from!"
Now I'm flashing on the villian from the animated Tick that was a hand puppet: "READ A FRICKIN' BOOK, WHY DON'T YA!!!"

There's Romeo and Juliet Together (and Alive!) at Last by Avi, which is a fun kids book. Also Hamlet 2, while we're on the silly side of things.

I highly recommended A Double Life by George Cukor. It's a noir take on Othello where the lead is an actor playing Othello. It's basically the play within an update of the play.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Let's not forget the Gilligan's Island production of Hamlet. It's been over three decades since I last saw it and I can still hear the Skipper singing Polonius' speech to the Toreador Song like it's playing on a TV set next to me.

I ask to be
Or not to be
That is the question that I ask of me
And also
Neither a borrower nor a lender be
Do not forget
Stay out of debt
Yeah, that's in my head better than the original.
I highly recommended A Double Life by George Cukor
Oooh, that sounds right up my alley and I have not heard of it before. Excellent.
