Wednesday, May 21, 2003 Reading One of the simple pleasures to which I've recently been reintroduced is reading out loud. As an actress and writer, you'd think this would have occurred to me sooner, but better late than never, or so the saying goes. I had to attend two fiction readings for my creative writing class this winter, and though hearing Rick Moody read from his work was interesting, it was less his vocal presence than his writing itself that held my attention (not that he was bad--he wasn't)--Jonis Agee's reading was nothing particularly special. However, poets have long been fans of reading aloud (incidentally, so has my “literary circle” or whatever you want to call them), and during the week I was with IV in the UP (hope you're following the acronyms) I heard excerpts from none other than Winnie the Pooh and The Chronicles of Narnia. All of this is a long-winded way of saying that one of the projects of this summer, which has already commenced, is a reading of The Princess Bride. We’ve made it to Chapter Two, but the rest will have to wait until I return from Paris. For now, it’s off to swing dancing. ^ Top | 7:36 PM | | |
