Shakespeare

So, a very long while ago I decided that I ought to, at some point before dying, finish reading all of the Shakespeare plays. But there are quite a few, and it's difficult to keep track of them all. So I'll put a counter on here. They are quick reads if you are comfortable with the lingo of the times, so I should probably try to read one a week to get them done (I just read Othello in two days, so it's quite doable). Anyway, I'll put a counter up at some point, but for now: here is the list (from Open Source Shakespeare)!

COMEDIES All's Well That Ends Well As You Like It (S) Comedy of Errors (R) Love's Labour's Lost Measure for Measure Merchant of Venice (R, S) Merry Wives of Windsor Midsummer Night's Dream (R,S) Much Ado about Nothing (S) Taming of the Shrew (S) Tempest (R) Twelfth Night (R, S) Two Gentlemen of Verona Winter's Tale

HISTORIES Cymbeline Henry IV, Part I Henry IV, Part II Henry V (R, S) Henry VI, Part I Henry VI, Part II Henry VI, Part III Henry VIII King John Pericles Richard II Richard III (S)

TRAGEDIES Antony and Cleopatra Coriolanus Hamlet (R) Julius Caesar (R) King Lear (R) Macbeth (R, S) Othello (R) Romeo and Juliet (R, S) Timon of Athens Titus Andronicus Troilus and Cressida

How to read the little letters in parenthesis: R= Read S= Seen it on the stage or as a film. As You Like It is a bit of a fib, but I'm seeing it next week so time shall make it true!
