In case you’re looking for something wonderful and hilarious to watch today: National Theatre has made The Importance of Being Earnest available on Youtube and it’s utterly delightful. Oscar Wilde’s humor still shines so brightly a century later ♥️ #theatre #classiclit
If It’s Such Great Literature, Why Does It Only Have 3.5 Stars?
"Do “mediocre” Goodreads ratings represent a lukewarm response to some titles, or reflect a readership passionately divided into polarised factions?"

After about 6 weeks off, @chapterbychapter returns tomorrow with a serialization of Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley.
As I've said before*, she doesn't get enough credit for her impact on science fiction. Odd that a story written by a young woman (published at 20) would be overlooked 🤔
Anyway, follow chapter bot to get a chapter a day, Victorian-Netflix style.

Just saw something stating that the “father of science fiction,” H.G. Wells was born OTD in 1866. I just want to point out that he was born a full 15 years after Mary Shelly died. Not to downplay his importance and influence. But Frankenstein preceded The Time Machine by 77 years. #literature #classiit #publicdomain
