Shakespeare for the Starved

Since we didn't have a new play to do this week, I took a bit of advice from Kent (which was first suggested to us by Dr. Burton) and checked out the BYU audio books. He was right. They're amazing. So amazing, in fact, that I will give you a link. Just click on Shakespeare Audio plays. It' now bookmarked on my computer. I had originally mixed in some Librivox with my reading of King Lear, and it was nice. I found it to be about the same as with Macbeth--some good actors, some bad, but still nice enough to listen to. I still haven't had any horrible experiences with Librivox, but maybe I'm not as discerning of a listener as Kent. I also think ramen tastes just fine, so I'm obviously not too picky. In fact, googling pictures of ramen made me so hungry I'm about to go home and eat now. But yes, BYU Library Audio versions are the way to go, so long as you have the happy privilege of studentdom. After that, Librivox is not too terrible of an alternative. Plus, by then you can afford a little more besides ramen anyway.
