Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

this year for lit, we'll be doing othello.
save for yours truly, it seems everyone else has already gotten the text;
bought it, is what i mean.
karen lim has been hounding me to get the text, telling me to go down to the bookshop to get a copy of the "Cambridge University Press" edition,
something i utterly refuse to do.
getting the text is not the issue.
it's paying $26 for an a-level accpted text that i cannot accept.
sure. you pay more(alot more that is) for the added 61 page intro and the foot notes along with the original text, but 26 bucks is daylight robbery!

despite the apparent dilemma,
fret i did not, for an alternative solution was quickly reached:
Bras Basah: The Land of Books Old and Cheap
just the place you'd hope to find some old shakespearean book(hopefully one littered with notes scribbled about from some uni kid).

promptly went down and picked up a copy of wordsworth's shakespeare's five great tragedies.
all this at a low low price of only $6!
wahahaha. 5 plays for $6!
can you beat that!?
cut out the othello section and...
voila!
othello text waiting to be studied and annotated!

still i needed to get a text that was exam accepted....
but somehow or other that was solved.
clara, who dropped lit apparently, has graciously been willing to lend me her text until the end of the year!
she hasn't specified any fees yet(i hope there's none), but it shouldn't be that i high i think...less than $10 maybe?
maybe she'll be happy to just get back a thoroughly-highlighted book
....maybe not

so there! all my lit problems solved, $20 dollars cheaper than everyone else too!
now i just need to get through reading it(which is a whole new challenge in itself)
monday got mini quiz...

I SHALL'ST HENCE ENDEAVOURETH TO GRASPST THE TALE BY THE DAWN OF THE TO MORROORRORRORROW.
