some of my favorite plays:
measure for measure
merchant of venice
twelfth night
othello
hamlet
king lear
julius caesar
richard III
antony and cleopatra
macbeth falls under the category of least favorites. and actually, most of his histories that i've read werent too interesting, either.
he's got what, about 40 plays? i've read somewhere in the 20's, studied probably 15 in classes. shakespeare has the rep of being difficult, he's not at all. maybe compared to harry potter, i guess. but once you get the hang of it (less than one play probably) its pretty easy, and a slow reader like me can polish off a book in a few days easily. i honestly dont care at all who really wrote the works, but maybe i'll dig up some research on this.
