Yes! 

You always wanted to do tile work (as in a bathroom) but never got around to learning all the professional ins-and-outs of it.

[Westerly_2]

that's true

you havesomething special you use to make your houseplants thrive

[Angharad]

Not really. Do you?

You like reality TV shows (NOT like "Big Brother," but shows about real people's lives)

[Angharad]

Not really. Do you?

You like reality TV shows (NOT like "Big Brother," but shows about real people's lives)

[Westerly_2]

(no, I was hoping you would tell me)

don't like that kind of  thing in real time. Prefer documentaries about dead people

you like historical fiction around time periods you find interesting

[Angharad]

True. 

You like the way James Michener unfolds history from multiple perspectives. 

[Westerly_2]

I actually forgot he did that, but I do like that kind of thing

jumping from one point of view to another, reveals more of the whole truth, in a work of fiction

[Angharad]

I think it depends. I'd say generally yes, from the character's perspective; but, from the author's perspective, one character's truth may be all that's wanted (e.g., in Par Lagerkvist's "The Dwarf" or "Barabbas"). 

Your adore Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy.

[Westerly_2]

No. my hubby loved it. I never read it

You know how to say all those words in Jabberwocky

[Angharad]

Haha, you know it!  " 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves," etc.

You love e.e. cummings' poetry.

[Westerly_2]

Yes

you believe that Shakespeare really wrote all the plays attributed to him, himself

[Angharad]

Yup. I've read all the plays, and in my (vague) memory of them, they felt as if they had one voice. So, I'd say I believe that whoever wrote them, wrote them all--possibly with advice and editing from a trusted friend--and as far as I know there's no definitive proof it wasn't Shakespeare.

You're not fond of explaining yourself.
