When was the last time you reveled in a piece of literature?

I am currently reading and studying everything I can get my hands on for free about Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra. I am putting together a proposal to direct it on the stage next summer.

I am having a blast. I love the work itself. I’ve discovered some really good literary criticism online. Next, I’ll be stopping by my local library to see what they have to offer.

I almost want to rip out all the pages and roll in them scattered on the floor.

What piece of literature got you really excited? Did you ever have a glorious reaction to the words of some writer?

Have you ever been engrossed by literature?
