Day 25: Favorite book you read in school

(I’m sorry I thought I scheduled this, but I didn’t.)

The favorite book I had to red in school is a difficult question because it has been a while since I have been in school and I don’t remember a lot of the books we read.

I do remember a book (technically a play but we read it from a book) that I had a great time reading and playing around with was “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett. The play is good, but I think the enjoyment from it was more from reading it in an over-dramatized manner with a friend at the school I was attending at the time.

Subtitled ‘A tragicomedy in two Acts’, and famously described by the Irish critic Vivien Mercier as a play in which ‘nothing happens, twice’, En attendant Godot was first performed at the Théâtre de Babylone in Paris in 1953. It was translated into English by Samuel Beckett, and Waiting for Godot opened at the Arts Theatre in London in 1955.
