I like Mark Rylance’s version because he performs it as a king knowing he’s sending his army into a battle where they are outnumbered and will likely die. Most actors perform it as a call to arms monologue.
Probably my favourite version. It's much less bombastic than Olivier's or Branagh's.

I'm going to subscribe to the NS so I can read the Tanjil Rashid piece on Sally Rooney. Prediction: it will annoy me.

These might be my favourite collection of cover designs I've seen in a while. Impressive coherence given Vingtage used 4 different illustrators.

Another centenary book I really enjoyed reading this year.
F. Scott Fitzgerald - All The Sad Young Men
A collection of short stories set in 1910-1920s Anerica. I liked almost all of them and some were excellent: Rich Boy, Winter's Dream, Baby Party, Hot And Cold Blood.
This was my first time reading Fitzgerald and I was struck by how funny he can be. Some of the absurdity and class-and-gender humour reminded of Jane Austen. A good first impression and I'm keen to read The Great Gatsby next — apparently it echoes a few of these short stories.
