#nowreading CURTAIN UP: Agatha Christie - A Life in Theatre, by Julius Green #malewriter #nonfiction

ID: A photograph of the book cover. The top half is dominated by the title, in red, styled to resemble a neon sign on the front of a theatre, below which is the first part of the subtitle in a serif font, then the second part in a handwriting-style font, then the author’s name in an all-capitals sans-serif font. Across the bottom is a photograph of the doors of a theatre which is well-lit but closed

There is a place in hell reserved for people who mill around the auditorium door, blocking traffic, like they need to get in first to get the best assigned seat

Today was a day of ironies (in variously loose senses) It started with arriving at my therapist’s office while the radio pipED out Christine McVie’s exhortation, ‘tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies’ Then the podcast I just listened to, on chatbot psychosis, ended with an ad for Amazon AWS AI

#nowreading MEDEA and Other Plays, by Euripides, translated by James Morwood #malewriter #play

ID: Photograph of the Oxford World’s Classics edition of the book, featuring Eugène Delacroix’s painting Médée, which depicts a nude Medea holding her struggling sons in her arms and a dagger in her left hand, with her face in shadow to just below the eyes. The reproduction is cropped to remove Jason from the left of the painting, the direction in which Medea is looking. There is also a white strap towards the bottom of the design for the book’s details

#nowreading MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN, by Bertolt Brecht. Translated by John Willett, edited by John Willett and Ralph Mannheim #malewriter #play

ID: Screenshot of the book’s cover. It has a pale blue border, with the same colour used for the author’s name and the title. The top fifth is dedicated to the title, author, translator and editors, and the rest consists of a production photo of Helene Weigel as Mother Courage in the 1949 Deutsches Theater production; she is wearing a plain, sturdy dress, with her hair held back in a kerchief, and sits with her feet on a large tin can, eyes downcast. Behind her is a bench lined up with wooden steins, with a tap and bucket beneath it, and there is a basket containing a couple of earthenware flagons on the floor in front of her

#nowreading THE DICTIONARY PEOPLE: The Unsung Heroes Who Created the Oxford English Dictionary, by Sarah Ogilvie #femalewriter #nonfiction @vintagebooks.bsky.social

ID: photo of the cover. The background is a deep green, with a gold embossed border. The word ‘Dictionary’ in the title and the author’s name are also embossed. Between the title and subtitle are line drawings of four people: a woman standing next to a large, fully-extended telescope, which stands on top of a pair of books, another woman holding a parasol while writing on a slip of paper which rests on a pile of three books with slips of paper marking pages, and which are perched on the end-edge of a suitcase, a man in a coat with many pockets, with a pair of books under his arm, and another man in a greatcoat and mortarboard taking notes from an open book with four more in a pile at his feet.

At the bottom of the cover is a quote from Jeanette Winterson, whose name is also embossed, which reads, ‘A wonder-book for word lovers’

There is also a strip of pattern down the left-hand edge, which is the Paisley-like design which is most associated with the end-papers of 19th-century hardbacks

I’m pretty pleased with how I did on catfishing today. The three I missed, I would never have got anyway (what do I know of Youssou N’Dour, Euler, or military aircraft?)

Screenshot from catfishing.net, showing my (rather apt) score of 7 for today’s game, and that, of the 783 players so far today, only ten did better, with one each scoring 10 and 9, and the other eight scoring 8. It also shows that the average score is 3.1, and that I am in the top 2% so far today. The screenshot has been cropped to remove any references to the correct answers

I’ve seen quite a few ads for musicals which claim that they’re Broadway hits, when the show barely lasted 18 months and definitely did not recoup I feel like it’s only a matter of time before I see an ad for the “smash hit Broadway phenomenon Glory Days”
