found some hard going and have never finished them others I have read them over and over ..special hamlet and romeo&Juliet and the Scottish play like some of the sonnets too but the king lear and henry was it I found tough to enjoy
yeah kes was strangely good, a boy and his kestrel yes can't remember much of school either like sciences.history .geography.I.T. woodwork ,home something ? (basically cooking ) but the rest nah was not for me
You were around before the globe? Lol

Home economics. At my school that was girls only, the boys did woodwork, metalwork and technical drawing.

If you've not seen it before...
I love The Globe, it's far and away my favourite theatre and I miss it terribly.

That was the case in my junior high as well — back in the Jurrasic Era.

The film is an absolute joy for me and I've seen it countless times, because I can totally identify with Billy Casper from my school days.
Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.

Great film and book and we also enjoyed reading the swearing out loud! I’d forgotten the book had a different name.
