I've just discovered Samuel Beckett...

[Black_Bird]

And I think I'm obsessed.

I've just got finished watching seven short films based on his plays that were showing on late night television. My god, he's a genius! Great stuff, great work. Simple, but great.

I know Beckett deals with baseball cards and they are great. Givin' it a think, maybe they should stay away from the plays and films and just let people focus on the real games.

Beckett is truly addictive.

So is Pirandello.

Yeah, I miss Quantum Leap, too.

jk.

Actually, Waiting for Godot drove me bonkers so I never delved further.

Dammit, I wanted to be the first to mention QL.

I had to read Waiting For Godot and Endgame in theatre class, and I still don't think my mind has healed right.

You're not merely entertained, you're transformed.

That's what makes his work great.

Healed right? Let me give you a little introduction into my world; At the age of 15, I read Catcher in the Rye. I have, on my shelf right now, "The Catcher in the Rye", "Nine Stories", "Franny and Zooey", and "Raise High The Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction." I've read Clockwork Orange, but never saw the movie.

I absolutely love this kind of stuff! It makes you think.

Beckett is quite delightful. Also, you might want to read Tom Stoppard, or Eugene Ionesco.

I read Catcher at the same age. Actually, I was 16, now that I think about it. Hell of a book.

I started, but didn't finish, A Clockwork Orange. The neologisms were a pain in the ass. Every time I put the book down, I'd forget what all the made-up words meant, then when I started reading, I'd have to flip back to the first few pages to figure out what the fuck Anthony Burgess was talking about.
