The Other Boleyn Girl

is a book by Philippa Gregory about Anne's sister Mary. I'm usually not into historical novels, especially from the Tudor period, but this one was good. It tells the story of Katherine of Aragon and Henry the VIII and how Anne Boleyn became the next queen (and then was killed). Anyway, I finished reading this book late in the week last week. Then I see The Simpsons last night, wherein Marge tells the kids the stories of Henry VIII, Sacagawea, and W. A. Mozart. Seeing the Simpsons version of the story of Henry VIII was that more funny after reading Gregory's book. I must say the episode last night was the funniest I've seen in a while. I was dying during the credits. Oh, Lord.
