And Lauren Groff's book never did that.

Apparently.

Recently, I listened to audio, and I'm not a huge audio book person, but if I'm driving more than a couple of hours, I will listen to an audio book.

And this one was perfect audio book.

It's called Shakespeare, The Man Who Pays the Rent by Judi Dench.

Oh, it's the only way.

I've never seen the book in print, but I cannot imagine...

reading that book any other way than audio.

Judi Dench is delightful.

She's brilliant and funny.

And the book is an interview with her, as you know.

I felt like I got a mini course in Shakespearean literature via Judi Dench.

And a little bit of the theater, like behind the scenes of theater.

And it's about her life.

But a lot of it is about Shakespearean plays and how they were presented and the British theater.

And I just found that delightful.

I've also been reading The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lyon by Beth Brower.

Yes, it's very, very popular, wildly popular.

I am really enjoying them, especially...

in contrast to some heavier things.
