Here are some thoughts I had while wrestling with this book:
"Of course it happened. Of course it didn't happen."
Where's my dictionary?
This is brilliant / this is bollocks.
What?
"Nothing will come of nothing. Speak again."

Where is Hunter Thompson when I need him?
Now that I've read this, can I please, please, please return to reading novels?
This is why academics a.k.a. dramaturgs should never direct Shakespeare plays.
Professor McHale, if he hasn't already done so, might want to partake in a stiff whiskey or two...or twelve.
