World Book Night and Shakespeare Revisted
My earlier diatribe against some aspects of World Book Night might have been a bit premature vis a vis being concomitant with the birthday of Shakespeare. Looking closer at each of these free books I noticed that each one has a different sonnet by Shakespeare, and that with each of the thirty titles there is a different sonnet for each book.
Also this week on television will start a season on the oeuvre of Shakespeare and a special QI evening centred on the bard, hosted by the affable charms of Stephen Fry.
My blog entry on that evening has made the first page on Google search. Amazing!
Today I have felt a little lacklustre in mood, and for no apparent reason. I suspect that the weather has something to do with, but a few moments in the garden this afternoon,when the sun came out to warm the air, bucked me up no end. Sunny weather makes me feel good inside.
I have been filling in the questions of a quiz I picked up from Ashford library , and I am now left with four of the most fiendishly difficult ones left , and all associated with books. The deadline for doing them is May 5th.Due to answering this quiz has resulted in doing very little book reading except that one on Montaigne, and I am wondering will I ever get to the end of that book.
I now know why my sales on Play have been stagnant. I have noticed that my listings, whilst appearing on my own page, have not shown up when customers log in to look at items online against my competitors. I have emailed Play about this to get them to sort it out. It has happened once before and an email to them did the trick. That débâcle with the Big Bang Theory DVD has been resolved as well. They have refunded my money and now it is back in my site balance. I might just use the balance to buy some books or more Woody Allen movies,or even purchase BBT series 4 from another affiliated Play trader.
I have also added some singles to the Discogs site, as this is doing quite well currently with another slab of vinyl to post off tomorrow.
Tomorrow I will be in Sittingbourne again but will traverse to Faversham beforehand , as I have a Folio Society edition of the best of Punch magazine (from the Faversham Society charity shop) to pick up in the morning, and a cheque from Santander to deposit.
Finally, birthday wishes go to my sister-in-law for Thursday. Brother is taking her somewhere special over the weekend and my lips are sealed on the subject as to where it is.
