Macbeth is William Shakespeare's play.
All of Shakespeare's plays are never make it in novel. |

drawn out, never going to end, etc.

Hey, I already had Hamlet and a nonfiction work in here - Shag said it's ok and it's her thread, so Macbeth is good too

28. progris riport 1: martch 5, 1965.
29. A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. 30. I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one. 31. My name is Eugene Debs Hartke, and I was born in 1940. 32. Autumn had come too swiftly. |

31 is Vonnegut. Hocus Pocus. But I had to cheat a little because I couldn't remember the name of the novel.

Yep on 29 and 31. I don't know why Hocus Pocus isn't as well known as his other novels. I thought it was incredible.

studies class which was taught by a rather infamous former Black Panther. I didn't know who she was when I signed up for the class and she NEVER mentioned
her past, but after I found out I could never get the image of her boiling the water used to torture ... oh, wait! She was acquitted.

332 - Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known trouble was brewing...
333 - The palace still shook occasionally as the earth rumbled in memory, groaned as if it would deny what had happened. 334 - Theodore is in the ground. 335 - You think you know how this story is going to end, but you don't. Trust me, I was there. I know. 336 - Two tires fly. Two Wail. A bamboo grove, all chopped down. From it, warring songs. 337 - My suffering left me sad and gloomy. 338 - "Eh bien, mon prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now no more than private estates of the Bonaparte family." |
