I’ve been very slow this week, currently should start act III of Hamlet. So far is very good. It looks like Ophelia has BPD, and if I had to choose, Claudius seems much saner than Hamlet even if wicked, and therefore a better ruler. Queen Gertrude is a c*nt though.

I'm continuing to read An Immense World, which is about the variety of animal senses and how those senses determine how various animals perceive the world around them.
Just finished a chapter on "vibrations", stuff like surface waves, which was really interesting. Lots of stuff about animals that can feel other animals nearby from their footsteps, plus a bunch of insects that use plant stems as a sort of communication network by vibrating the stem (similar to voice/hearing, except via a solid medium like a plant and not air). Very fetch.
