Reading, poorly

Howard Pyle's The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood - Chapter 2: Robin Hood and the Tinker | Robin encounters a challenge, and I recommend a proper series of audiobooks.

Howard Pyle's The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood - Chapter 1: How Robin Hood Came to Be an Outlaw | Robin Hood runs afoul of the law thanks to a poorly-considered bet, but gains some new friends as a result. I struggle with English dialect and picture Cary Elwes in tights...that's gonna happen a lot, so I might as well get used to it.

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Poetry Special | This book is full of poems, many of which are parodies of previously-existing ones. I thought it would be fun to read each one in turn, followed by its original source. Thanks to alice-in-wonderland.net for making the research easy for this one; I recommend checking out the site if you want to learn more about the poems or the story as a whole...or even if you're planning your own mad tea party!

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Chapter 12: Alice’s Evidence | Alice testifies at the trial in the thrilling conclusion of her story. Thanks for listening!

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Chapter 11: Who Stole the Tarts? | Alice attends a trial that seems to align oddly with a nursery rhyme. I’m clearly amused with the way the trial progresses.

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Chapter 10: The Lobster Quadrille | Alice learns of a rather eccentric group dance, and I append a rather unpleasant final line to a poem.

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Chapter 9: The Mock Turtle’s Story | Alice gets to know the Dutchess, a Gryphon, and a turtle. I nerd out (and read repeatedly) my favorite quote in all of literature. Yep, it’s from Wonderland. Oh, and apparently I say “Alex” instead of “Alice” at one point. Oops!

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Chapter 7: A Mad Tea Party | Alice joins an eccentric party for a spot of tea, but it’s not quite as productive of a soirée as she may have hoped. I delve into culinary recommendations and the quirks of language.

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Chapter 6: Pig and Pepper | Alice meets some peculiar new characters, including one particularly iconic one. I discuss homonyms and my own laziness (or lack thereof).
