Book Thirtyeight: Arcadia

Arcadia, Tom Stoppard



Tom Stoppard is super funny. Reading Tom Stoppard might even be better than seeing Tom Stoppard performed, just so you can take time to appreciate all the jokes and the references (and also, perhaps, look up some of those references, ahem). And despite the whole, tired science-as-metaphor-for-life schtick, this really worked for me. Honestly, give me enough funny and I can forgive even the worst gimmicks.
