I had to take turns with the Hugo novels). For E this was mostly stuff she read for school that she wanted me to read so I could help her with her papers, while for A. this has been books he really likes and wants to... well, he doesn't want to talk to me about them really, he more wants to ask me questions about what parts I liked and whether I thought X was funny and so on.<br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://cahn.dreamwidth.org/238902.html#cutid1">American Born Chinese, All American Boys, Frankly in Love, Raisin in the Sun, Keeper of the Lost Cities: 2-9.5, all of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson/Olympus/etc. series</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />I am still working on Magnus Chase, and as I mentioned we just got the latest Percy Jackson: Senior Year Adventures (a much more low-key series) from the library, so I do have a few more to go...<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cahn&ditemid=238902" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2010-04-30:507240:175344 2020-07-22T04:30:47Z 2020-07-22T04:30:47Z public 4 <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://selenak.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://selenak.dreamwidth.org/'><b>selenak</b></a></span> told me that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaEP2zn4bREs">the National Theatre's production of Amadeus is on Youtube</a> until Thursday.

(I haven't read it yet because I guess there are spoilers after the first paragraph? Also I had already wanted to watch it because I'd always wanted to see the stage version as I love the movie sooooo much, but that first paragraph would have convinced me if I hadn't been convinced already.)<br /><br />more later when I've finished, but wanted to make sure anyone who wanted to see it had a chance!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cahn&ditemid=175344" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
