I am pretty much in love with My Life, The Theater And Other Tragedies by Allen Zadoff. I devoured this book in the span of a few hours. I’d say to myself just one more chapter until I finished it. Adam Zeigler, sophomore, is a techie. Techies do not mix with actors at Montclair High […]
Book Review: How Shakespeare Changed Everything by Stephen Marche
May 16, 2011
How Shakespeare Changed Everything by Stephen Marche is a tiny, pretty (well, I like the cover and color) non-fiction book on the impact Shakespeare has had on culture and society.

Methinks my brain has been sanitized by YA, because whenever a penis pops up in an adult books, I’m all WHAT IS THIS?! Boys have more than just kissy-lips? Oh hell naw. Clearly, my brain is awesome. ANYWAYS, I recently read The White Devil by Justin Evans and am a bit unsure of what I […]
