According to one of our lecturers the boxset really isn't worth the money. I wouldn't mind having a swatch at Pinter's contribution though.
What did you think of "Atomised"? Been meaning to read it for ages.

Haha, even though I wrote an essay that relied a lot on
Happy Days I don't really know how to answer that... maybe the idea that companionship and an optimistic attitude are the only ways in which we can experience happiness in a bleak, Godless world? Technically I like Beckett but I don't really understand how people can
enjoy his plays, they're just so horribly depressing.
