Tonight, I went with some friends from church to see Waiting for Godot. It was my first time to see the play, and I thought it was excellent. Being in a philosophical frame of mind — I'm also listening to Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind on tape, thanks to Andy — I ordered a used copy of Bloom's translation of Plato's Republic. We'll see how long the interest in the great dialogue lasts. If it holds, I'm inevitably (and eventually) going to wind up reading Nietzsche. Echhhhh. ;-)
