So I checked out Austenbook earlier this week and it is totally and completely awesome. I happened to notice that at the bottom of the page, it said it was inspired by Sarah Schmelling’s Hamlet (Facebook News Feed Edition). I thought to myself, Hey, I like Shakespeare, so I bopped on over to check it out. After having read Shakespeare for Dummies and the play synopses located therein, I now have a basic understanding of what Hamlet was about, so I found this rather amusing. Now I need to actually read Hamlet. I’ve read several of the other plays and I might even have Hamlet at home thanks to the wonderful Shakespeare treasury I got at the Planned Parenthood Book Fair this spring. I just can’t remember now if I bought the tragedies or the comedies. One of the sets was missing a volume, so I left that set there, but now I don’t remember which one I bought. Oh, well…I hear the bookstores are a wonderful place to be this time of the year…Or actually, any time of the year!
I felt an urgent need to update you all about the awesomeness that is mentioned above, primarily because I felt an intense and urgent need to procrastinate again. Ah, procrastination, what would life be like without you? Oh, that’s right…it would suck horribly…
And now to look forward to a weekend full of chick flicks, romance novels, and all things Christmasy! Woo!

Chick flicks, romance novels, and all things Christmasie?! Where do I sign up!!
I too loved the Hamlet thing. I read Hamlet for the first time when I took a Shakespeare class in college. It is one of my FAVORITES. I don’t know if it can beat some of the comedies for me, and come on, there’s a REASON Romeo and Juliet is such a classic and I love it… but Hamlet! Oh man! So awesome.

I thought it sounded really good from the summary I read (it was very detailed). How I wish I could take a Shakespeare class! That’s one to add to my list of classes I must take when I go back to college someday in the distant future.
