That sounds super fun and HEY it also includes a comic I've actually read (well, at least the first one...)<br /><br />Also I second Katie's soft spot for Titus because it is so ridiculous how can you NOT love it?Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-19973941624547876882015-06-25T12:28:48.987+01:002015-06-25T12:28:48.987+01:00Oh Kayleigh, you probably did tell me such things,...Oh Kayleigh, you probably did tell me such things, but since it involved non-work related reading I probably ignored it... UNTIL NOW, when my time has come! Such excitement :) I was actually thinking about The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen yesterday because I was like 'they have Mina Harker in the league cause she's clearly the biggest badass in Dracula, just like they have Juliet leading the people instead of Romeo because she's a much bigger badass than him' but now Romeo has shown up in Kill Shakespeare so now I'm confused haha. But obviously I want to read all the comics!

I think sometimes you need to just do what you want to do, especially when your uni makes you write your dissertation over the summer instead of in term time like normal freaking people! Haha. <br /><br />Thank you! And if it isn't excellent, at least it should be fun!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-52338140808087297612015-06-25T12:22:38.789+01:002015-06-25T12:22:38.789+01:00Hahaha, oh Katie, you can fangirl at me as much as...Hahaha, oh Katie, you can fangirl at me as much as you want! I can take it hehe. I actually really enjoyed Titus Andronicus and it makes me sad that no one (academically speaking) really seems to take it seriously. But OH WELL.

But yay for dissertation progress!! I can't remember if it actually has Shakespeare references (I'm sure it does) but you should also read The League of Extraordinary Gentleman.

I'm about to start my Master's in a few months and I'm worrying about my dissertation and where it's going to go, but reading your post reminded me how much fun it is to research and write about a topic that you find so interesting personally. <br /><br />Good luck with your dissertation!
