I think it's a great choice. I have read the Mahabharata & the sequels, but never had chance to specifically read Bhagavad Gita.

Plus, I think I liked that I actually tackled it and got something out of it, since I'm not much of a poetry reader!MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051881501028228676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308674271138009565.post-39310287331341327102012-03-16T08:55:31.292-05:002012-03-16T08:55:31.292-05:00The Shakespeare I'm reading with another group...The Shakespeare I'm reading with another group online this year; some of those I've already read and some I haven't. But the other two (Duchess of Malfi and Revenger's Tragedy) were referred to in other books I've read over the years, and that's what sparked my interest in them. Oh, and my daughter wanted to read Don Juan last year, which spurred me to buy some more collections of Renaissance plays. Happy reading...Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784890975490896640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308674271138009565.post-74967570165106961712012-03-16T07:30:39.987-05:002012-03-16T07:30:39.987-05:00I love your selection of plays!

I took two Shakespeare classes as an undergrad, but I haven't read much from his Renaissance contemporaries -- so I'm looking forward to reading Marlowe and Jonson. I did read The Duchess of Malfi some time ago (alongside the Shakspeare) and remember liking it. I hope you enjoy it!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957349442523993974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308674271138009565.post-32822558683296559092012-03-15T21:38:17.576-05:002012-03-15T21:38:17.576-05:00I read the Waste Land some time back and don't...I read the Waste Land some time back and don't remember it that well.
