Happy Anniversary, GBS

Just noticed by pure chance that July 26 marked the 150th anniversary of George Bernard Shaw’s birth. Have I been living under a rock or was there very little fanfare about this? Maybe everyone is still beat out from all the recent Beckett celebrations, but I can’t be the only one who would much prefer spending time in a Shaw play than with any of Beckett’s über-boring dramas.

Anyway, no time to write much, so here is a list of Project Gutenberg’s free GBS downloads or cut to the chase and read Pygmalion, his most famous drama, or Arms and the Man, my personal favourite. Also have a look at Wickipedia’s Shaw entry. Of course, Shaw is at least as quotable as Oscar Wilde, so make sure to memorise some of these.
