I almost started a new series today, but I decided three posts in one day was overkill.
Quick review on this week's readings:
July 15 “Of the Food and Diet of the English” by Harrison: 3/5 Better than his dogs piece.
July 16 The Quran translated by E. H. Palmer: 2/5 There appear to be two Quran readings in T5FSOB. This one is mostly just a retelling of the Bible.
July 17 Phaedra by Racine: 4/5 The good play for the week.
July 18 A Blot in The 'Stucheon by Browning: 1/5 The bad play for the week.
July 19 The Discovery of Guiana By Raleigh: 1/5 This was like a boring Darwin.
July 20 Pilgrim’s Progress by Bunyan: 4/5 I did not expect to like this one, but I'm a sucker for a good Biblical anime fight.
July 21 BURNSSSSSS: 0/5 Please stop. (We get at least 2 Burns in August)
Average: 2.1 Burns ruins everything.
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
This week was interesting since it had the skeleton of some kind of theme going on. Two age gap plays, two pieces responding to the Bible.
On the one hand, I like that every night I get something different and have no idea what I'm going to read. On the other, I sometimes wish we did get a little tighter theming. It might be cool to look at a similar concept as presented by people over the years or from different places.
