Another good outcome of ADMID is that I read, for the first time, something by Marlowe. I took my copy of "The Best Poems of the English Language", edited by Bloom, and read what was there, three extracts from "Tamburlaine". I loved it, soon I'm going to get something like Marlowe's "Complete Works". I'm also reading all of Shakespeare's sonnets, and in my reading list I have his two long poems, "Venus & Adonis", and "The Rape of Lucretia". Thomas Nash is also there in "The Best Poems", as well as other contemporaries of Marlowe and WS. īTis pity Burgess died before penning the third part: his biographical novel of Ben Jonson.

: What a great observation, Steven! So, what do we read
: next?
:
: There's a sequel to Wolf Hall coming out next week
: titled Bring Up the Bodies . It's chiefly about the
: trial of Anne Boleyn. Of course, that would put us
: moving forward in time. I may be reading it soon
: anyway, as I've applied for a review copy. I'll find
: out in a couple of days if I get it. If I do then I'll
: also have to read Wolf Hall a month ahead of our
: schedule.
:
: I'm kidding , of course. Although I do recommend
: Connie Willis' Doomsday Book .
:
: I have this and would like to read it soon, but there
: are so many conflicting priorities I'm not sure when
: I'll get to it. Of course there's no reason why we
: couldn't put it on our reading calendar for next year.
: The group has done science fiction before.
