Denmark is the happiest country in the world

The United States limps in as the sixteenth happiest, but if you took away Dubya, we'd probably make it into the top ten.

Every time I watch "Fahrenheit 451", I get the strong urge to memorize a book. This time I'm feeling it pretty bad. Thinking about a Shakespeare play, since it's poetic form would ease memorization.

"Romeo and Juliet" first captured my imagination, as I am a sucker for its sweet treatment of young love. But considering the time and effort that would go into it, the play then seems too airy a confection, and the more conventional choice comes to mind: Hamlet.

Well, no matter. The project would have to come out of my reading life, and I cannot see reducing that by much, considering all that I am anxious to read. The whole idea is doubtlessly just a midsummer night's dream. But such an enchanting dream.
