I'm reading Tevye's Daughters
by Sholom Aleichem. Of course, I saw Fiddler on the Roof both on stage and film before reading it, so at certain times, I can hear Topol (Tevye in the movie) reciting the words as I read them, or certain songs will play in my head. Also, I start wanting to listen to klezmer all the time.

So, now I'm watching Fiddler on the Roof and trying to subdue the cravings.

9. Did you enjoy fiddler on the roof?
Do you enjoy jewish folklore? Humorous short stories?

If yes, I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've needed to get out of my rut and I need to read something lighthearted. I'll look for it next payday.
