Why I love plays:

The Clean House, by Sarah Ruhl

"People who give up the privilege of cleaning their house--they're insane people.

If you do not clean, how do you know you've made any progress in life? I love dust. The dust always makes progress. Then I remove the dust. That is progress."

Also, the Eurydice play that I loved the thought of lo-these-many-years ago? Worth loving in the reality as well. I want to see it now. I mean, it is no "The Lady's Not For Burning," which I also want to see, but it is pretty and sweet and delicate. And I want to see it. I would go to New York to see it, maybe even.

I love "The Lady's Not For Burning"! I saw a production of it during college, and I've spent the last seven years looking for a copy of it in every used bookstore I walk into. (I've read it. I just want to find it in a used bookstore, for luck.) ^_^

I have a spare copy if you need. :) I must get to the stores before you do, as I have found about 45 copies of it over time. :)

well shoot, I bet that's it! *g* only rational explanation. ;D do you have many different editions? I have a whole bunch of books in different editions, but then when the irresistible urge comes to get a second copy of the same edition, I put it in my 'gift to friends' pile. (my room is decorated by piles of books. isn't everyone's?) ^_^

At the moment i have two different editions, but that's just chance. Usually I find the red-dustjacketed, yellow-bound hardback in varying states of dustjacketing. I immediately buy all copies I find for gifting purposes.

yanno, I think I remember Bear mentioning that. well, if you do have a copy I could have I should absolutely love it! ^_^

I will have to look for it. But if/when I find it, it's yours!
