Well. I just devoured that audiobook in 2 days. It's kind of like... Star Wars for adults? Not in a way meant to diminish either franchise... just tryin to explain it without giving anything away. Amazed at Tchaikovsky's versatility as both a story teller and world builder.

Shakespeare: The World as Stage

Wrote a review for

"Write a biography of William Shakespeare, with scant historical records or evidence to draw from," is what Bill Bryson's editor said to him, probably. Credit to Bryson that he acknowledges that... there just isn't much we currently know about Shakespeare the person. Nice read for the Shakespeare completionist, or the Bryson fan (speaking as the latter, not the former).
