I just ordered Bede's Ecclesiastical History. Let me know when you start it and perhaps we can discuss it together as we go. :)
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is one of my favorite plays; we read it with Hamlet my senior year. The kids and I play the Questions Game from time to time at the dinner table -- it's always fun!
