No Fear Shakespeare: A Companion (No Fear Shakespeare)
Let's face it. Hearing people talk about Shakespeare can be pretty annoying. Particularly if you feel like you don't understand him.

Just as a minor bit of silliness, I was walking down the street with this book and someone told me I shouldn't be reading it. It's inappropriate. I've run around with Against Christianity, The Story of O, The Communist Manifesto, and just a whole host of books one might call inappropriate. Never has a word been said to me, but this was clearly crossing the line.
A great, funny approach to the Bard. I wished it had been a little more detailed regarding the plays, and of course I was disturbed to learn Kenneth Branagh buys into the conspiracy idea of someone other than Shakespeare as the author of the plays, but for someone who enjoys Shakespeare or wants to learn more about the whole "Shakespearian world," this book is nicely priced and very thorough.
