Vinegar Girl – A Modern take on Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew
Anne Tyler’s Modern Take on an Old Classic I’ve been a fan of Shakespeare since I was very young. Reciting lines, answering trivia and even acting out bit parts (before landing a part as Titania, but that’s another story)–so I’m fairly familiar with the story of Taming of the Shrew.

And now for something completely expected: A review of John Cleese’s So, Anyway…

As a Whovian, I have a responsibility to read anything and everything about the Doctor I can get my hands onto, especially since I live in America, and we may have to wait for months to get our ‘fix’ of the doctor. The Doctor is almost always portrayed as the good guy, which I completely…
