Three Plays: Rhinoceros / The Chairs / The Lesson by Eugène Ionesco

2.0

This is one of my four literature books I have to have read prior to the end of next month and since I've only completed one other than this so far (see: Pygmalion), I've been concerned that I was not going to have enough time. So, as I am thus 338 pages into Jane Eyre (another literature book), I figured that Ionesco's three plays would be an easy enough read. I do not give this book two stars, I give it at least two and a half. Never has a book been able to evoke such giggles, discomfort and confusion all at once. Better than Pygmalion, but still not as enjoyable as Jane Eyre continues to be. Maybe Ionesco just is not my cup of tea and that is completely okay, I am sure I may come to appreciate it more after a second reading.
