Apparently the trip to see Barack Obama has turned into a family affair, because my dad and brother are coming as well.

Also great: my brother, my 13 year old brother, picked up Hamlet at the library along with his usual stack of comics (DC this time, because, according to him: 'so I don't have to care about the continuity'.) He's already into act one, scene three because he also read the foreword and introduction.

Thanks so much, David Tennant! You rock. I've never wanted to send him a fan letter, except now I think I owe him a card or something. (Hallmark should make a card for this: 'thanks for making my thirteen year old brother want to read Shakespeare'.)

That is so cool. You're a good sib. :)

Has he seen any of the movie adaptations? Would he be interested in that? Throwing him into the four-hour Branagh might be a bit much, but it does have special effects and the awesome sword fight at the end.

I was thinking the Ethan Hawke one, actually.
