Finished: Waiting for Godot (Beckett). I think I'm still waiting for the point. Anyway, hmm. I'm not sure what to say. I went to read a review of the play after I read it, and it was called an "absurdist" piece of literature. I think I would agree with that. :-) I didn't really get it...or why it's considered to be one of the best plays of the 20th century. Oh wait...here's exactly what was said: It was voted "the most significant English language play of the 20th century". Really? Maybe I'm not deep enough. Another reviewer said it was a masterpiece because it was a play about absolutely nothing that holds you spellbound. And, as a matter of fact...the second act is just pretty much a repeat of the first act, so it does it to you twice. Interesting summary, that.

I went to the Broadway database to see who had starred in the play recently, and the only thing that kept me going through the play was picturing Nathan Lane as one of the main characters. I could so see him playing the part. Other than that, I've got nothing. Oh, I did like this exchange:

Vladimir: Is it possible you've forgotten already?

Estragon: That's the way I am. Either I forget immediately or I never forget.

I did like that. :-) Maybe that's the point...I'll never forget reading Waiting for Godot, that's for sure.
