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."
I'm reading Christopher Moore's Lamb. I had read Fluke and then forgotten about this author until my housemate shoved this one in my hand. Such yummy prose.
D is reading Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. I started quoting, "friends, romans, countrymen..." and then I wondered, wherefore do I know this particular quote. Was it featured in an episode of The Brady Bunch?

Uh, seriously?
Is it the climax of the play?
That particular bit has been quoted often and widely. I thought you were joking by singling out one specific usage of the quote.
It would be sort of like asking " 'Take my wife...please!' -- Was that on Cheers?"
I wonder what it is that makes that the Caesar quote. I can do 6 or 7 lines of that speech but I couldn't quote anything else from JC. I even thought "cry havoc!.." was a different play.

I don't know, "Et tu, Brute?" could give it a run for its money.
Is it the climax of the play?
No, it's the denouement. It's after Caesar's dead.
I think "Cry Havoc!" is also up there.
"he's got a lean and hungry look" and "beware the ides of march" are pretty big.
"he's got a lean and hungry look"
I've never heard this quoted before. Huh.
"beware the ides of march"
Oh, of course. Yeah, there are a lot of quotable lines. It's Shakespeare!
I've never heard this quoted before.
"Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous."
