TV Is Good For You

So I was watch­ing this new Show­time show called The Tudors about the early life of King Henry VIII. It’s pretty inter­est­ing with lots of plots and intrigue and court drama. And of course, since it’s pre­mium cable, there’s plenty of gra­tu­itous sex scenes. :)

Any­way, for the longest time I for­got the name of a book I read in Eng­lish class senior year of high school that I really liked. It was about an Eng­lish­man who chose to die rather than betray his integrity — very sim­i­lar to The Cru­cible, if you’re famil­iar with that work. Any­way, like I said, for the longest time, I for­got the name of the book and the Eng­lish­man, so it was rather hard to track down. Well, the man was a close friend of Henry VIII, so he’s in the show, and his name is Thomas More. The book is called A Man For All Sea­sons. You should check it out!
