I didn't read all of the plays in this bind up， for instance I always re read A Midsummers Night Dream quite frequently because its my favorite。 I didn't read all of the plays in this bind up， for instance I always re read A Midsummers Night Dream quite frequently because its my favorite。 。。。more

Maybe 3。5 stars。 It took me pretty much exactly 3 months to finish this！ Except Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet， this was my first time reading all of these。 Several I hadn't even heard of before！A lot of the time it was very heavy to read， I think during all of March I had to have a break from this， since I wanted to actually be motivated to read in it。I do appreciate the beauty of his writing， and he really did have a way with words。 Reading them all pretty much back to back wasn't the best idea tho Maybe 3。5 stars。 It took me pretty much exactly 3 months to finish this！ Except Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet， this was my first time reading all of these。 Several I hadn't even heard of before！A lot of the time it was very heavy to read， I think during all of March I had to have a break from this， since I wanted to actually be motivated to read in it。I do appreciate the beauty of his writing， and he really did have a way with words。 Reading them all pretty much back to back wasn't the best idea though， as many of the plays have similar themes and plots， so a bunch of them just blended together in my head and I didn't enjoy them as much。 I don't regret reading them though， I think it's important to read at least SOME Shakespeare in your life！My top ten would be:1。 Hamlet （duh， always has been）2。 King Henry VI， part 33。 King Henry IV， part 14。 The Merry Wives Of Windsor5。 The Comedy Of Errors6。 Henry V7。 Romeo & Juliet8。 Richard III9。 Macbeth10。 SonnetsSo if you want suggestions of what to read， I recommend these！A note on the edition: The golden edges of the pages transferred onto my hands when I touched them， and the printing wasn't the best。 Sometimes whole words hadn't been printed properly， and in many places the letters looked rubbed off。 。。。more

In college， I took all four years of Shakespeare。 We'd purchase several plays individually， but when I got out of college， I purchased the complete works， which I still own。 This isn't the specific book I purchased， but it is representative of the one I did when I purchased it as a new university graduate about a year after I was graduated with honors。 In college， I took all four years of Shakespeare。 We'd purchase several plays individually， but when I got out of college， I purchased the complete works， which I still own。 This isn't the specific book I purchased， but it is representative of the one I did when I purchased it as a new university graduate about a year after I was graduated with honors。 。。。more

Many insist Shakespeare is the greatest English author。 I admit that not all of his work strikes a chord with me， but there is much here that is clearly the work of genius。 The Tempest is my personal favorite; the entire play had me at the edge of my seat。

Remarkable！ Other than the fact that I actually read the entire works of the bard， the only thing I find surprising is how much depth and nuance Shakespeare was able to provide each and every work。 Even though I had read several of the plays and sonnets prior to taking on this particular reading challenge， I found myself discovering all new things to love。 If you have not dove into Shakespeare， take this as a sign to give it a shot; I guarentee you'll find something to make it worth your while。 Remarkable！ Other than the fact that I actually read the entire works of the bard， the only thing I find surprising is how much depth and nuance Shakespeare was able to provide each and every work。 Even though I had read several of the plays and sonnets prior to taking on this particular reading challenge， I found myself discovering all new things to love。 If you have not dove into Shakespeare， take this as a sign to give it a shot; I guarentee you'll find something to make it worth your while。 Here are my top ten works that I enjoyed the most （in no particular order）:1。 The sonnets2。 Hamlet3。 Macbeth 4。 A Midsummer Night's Dream5。 As You Like It 6。 Henry V7。 Richard III8。 The character of Sir John Fallstaff in all the plays he is featured in9。 Romeo and Juliet （mainly for the poetry than the plot）10。 The Tempest 。。。more

Good God。 Isn’t an incomplete work enough？

What else can be added to the greatest playwright of all time。 Reading all the plays together does give one a sense of the valleys and peaks of genius。 Shakespeare delights even when he lags。 Read them all again before the censorship of cancel culture makes it illegal！

Have read this enough times to have run through many copies。 It is good for mindset when writing fantasy， and the stories are deeper than much that was churned out then and is churned out now。

Shakespeare is a revered author and we are all bardolatrists。 I am too。 But I think I got a better understanding of his work now that I have read all of his plays。 There is a difference between the semi-divine Shakespeare quote at you and the human Shakespeare you read。 He is an author among many who really， really delighted in poetry and turns of phrase。 He has an abiding empathy， humanism， and skepticism。 I love the bard， but I do not want to revere him。 I wish I had taken a Shakespeare class Shakespeare is a revered author and we are all bardolatrists。 I am too。 But I think I got a better understanding of his work now that I have read all of his plays。 There is a difference between the semi-divine Shakespeare quote at you and the human Shakespeare you read。 He is an author among many who really， really delighted in poetry and turns of phrase。 He has an abiding empathy， humanism， and skepticism。 I love the bard， but I do not want to revere him。 I wish I had taken a Shakespeare class in college （I was required to read his sonnets for my English degree before you lose you mind）。 Shakespeare interests me not so much as a static artifact， but how people have interpreted and reimagined him。 I think Shakespeare is still relevant and meaningful even after all of these centuries， and I am glad I read him。 But honestly I am tired （yes I can get tired even of the bard） and I am ready to move on。 。。。more

We stated in January 2021。 A play a week。 Our family meets by zoom once a week to discuss the play of the week。 It’s an reasonable pace and gives me something to look forward to each week。 A nice chat with my kids and husband centered on a topic that is fun to discuss。 So far so good:Taming of the ShrewComedy of Errors King Henry VI。 Part 1 King Henry VI。 Part 2 King Henry VI。 Part 3 King Richard III Titus Andronicus Romeo and Juliet Timon of Athens Julius CaesarTwo Gentlemen from Verona，King Jo We stated in January 2021。 A play a week。 Our family meets by zoom once a week to discuss the play of the week。 It’s an reasonable pace and gives me something to look forward to each week。 A nice chat with my kids and husband centered on a topic that is fun to discuss。 So far so good:Taming of the ShrewComedy of Errors King Henry VI。 Part 1 King Henry VI。 Part 2 King Henry VI。 Part 3 King Richard III Titus Andronicus Romeo and Juliet Timon of Athens Julius CaesarTwo Gentlemen from Verona，King JohnRichard II 。。。more
