      Stoppard's version of Beckett's Waiting for Godot. What a riot. This book/play is the source that had me come out of my shell as a senior in high school. Hamlet is not portrayed as well here as ol' Billy did. As we discussed Hamlet's role in Rosencrantz, I recall becoming frustrated with my teacher's insistence that Hamlet was a hero. Finally, I called out, "Hamlet is an asshole."

      Shocked! I was asked to defend my comment, which I did and all was well. It taught me that an unpopular POV will be respected if defended.
