Shakespeare, as much and as often as possible. I try and read it all once a year -- this was something I learned many years ago from "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", which I have reread about three times (thank you Betty). I carry a play or the poems around with me for subway or whatever. It is amazing how much time you can find. But I can't really read the early History plays (till you get to Richard III in about 1591) very often, and I confess to skipping Two Gentlemen of Verona and a Comedy of Errors sometimes in the cycle. Probably Twelfth Night is the one I reread the most. It is just a habit I picked up when I was 16 and never let go of, not something I parade, but it has been worth it, heaven knows.

yours,

Peter T.
