I haven't finished listening/reading the play yet because work's been busy, but I was surprised with how witty and funny the first act was. I know the R&GAD is supposed to be funny, but Arcadia's premise sounded very dry at first. Pleasantly surprised that my assumptions were wrong.

Yeah it's hilarious right out of the gate. I read this on a flight from Jamaica and kept stopping to laugh and show my wife a bit of dialogue. Septimus talking his way out of the duel in the first scene was great.

Woah, undershot that one a bit.

So I found out the other night someone in my office is in a theater group who is putting this on in Chicago (at the Greenhouse Theater Center if anyone is in the area and interested) so I am going to try and see it performed live soon.

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:

The Blizzard by Vladimir Sorokin. It’s a weird little book with enough post-apocalyptic weirdness to keep the genre side of TBB interested but also a very clever pastiche of the Russian classics set in the icy wastes of Siberia. It’s on Kindle BTW

This sounds cool as heck so I went ahead and put it on hold regardless of if it gets picked
