Better Than Friday - 132 (Patreon)

Happy Friday everyone, hope you're well. 

There's a lot going on over here, hence my absence. Cross country move coming in July, back to Florida, can't wait. 

Meanwhile, just finished Hamlet - Solid read if there ever was one. 

Working on a 2022 To-Be-Read list, a little late but, on the way. 

Have a great weekend.

1. Supplementary material for Hamlet by the one and only Harold Bloom 

Might review this for patrons only soon. Seems like Hamlet has too much to be confined to one review. 

------------------------------------

In Harold Bloom's New York Times bestselling Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, the world's foremost literary critic theorized on the authorship of the historic play Hamlet. In this engaging new stand-alone work, he offers a full and warmly personal account of the play itself, explores its extraordinary impact throughout the history of western literature, and seeks to uncover the mystery at its heart.

2. Hey - Want to go on Vacation with me? 

Not sure how ya'll are feeling but I'm ready to gtfo for a change of scenery. 

The folks at Trovatrip got in touch recently, and we're seeing if we can make something happen.

Want to join me on vacation next year? 

Please take this survey (just takes a couple of minutes). I'm thinking Portugal, Italy, Vietnam, or Mexico City, but you tell me where you'd most like to go, and if we get enough takers, we can make it happen. 

It would be awesome to hang out in person!

3. Thelonius Monk's Light Blue 

Great track. 

4. Asylum Party - Fucking Love This Song 

Posted by Nate in the discord - Incredible. Thanks man, never heard this. 

5. Peter O'Toole and Orson Welles discussing Hamlet 

God this is terrific.“I think Hamlet is the man to believe in the play of Hamlet.”

I know there's probably some out there experiencing Welles-fatigue but this was just too relevant. Last one for a while. I swear. 

We're in the flyover zone. Serenaded by Canada Geese daily. And nightly.
