Much Ado about Nothing is better than Taming of the Shrew? I object! ;(

Thanks for telling me :) I removed it now.

love othello. its like almost a modern story even though its like a 300 year old story

Shakespeare is my template and master, besides some of the old Greeks. In my Saltian project I am looking for people to compare a poem I wrote with a passage in As You Like It. I'd love to see someone write a short comparison (a line or two will do) of the category Mr. William depicted with one of the poems I wrote for that category. Not a critique of the poem but how the poem's subject matter relates to the monologue, the times, etc. Any takers? http://booksblog.unboundcontent.com Thanks.

I tried to add the book "The New Temple Shakespeare" which includes Venus & Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, and The Phoenix & Turtle but it's not coming up anywhere. It was first published in 1935.

It may not be in the database.

haven't read many of Shakespeare's books/plays,(though I should) so I couldn't make an accurate vote...

Thirty-five needs to be removed—it's the same as one! Otherwise, a great list. I am surprised I have only read three of these. (I'm currently reading Hamlet.)

I only voted for two because they're the only ones I've read (I'm in high school)

Where is King Henry VI Part 3???? That's my favourite.

You could add it to the list; it's easy to add books to lists. At the top of the list, at the tab next to "all votes."

Thank you!

No problem.

Someone added a whole bunch of books to this list that have nothing to do with Shakespeare (Harry Potter, Batman, and Twilight, to name a few). I deleted them.

Macbeth, hands down, should be number one as it is the best of Shakespeare's works (at least in my opinion). I have read 5 of the works listed (as I am only in high school and haven't had the vocabulary or analysis skills to read more earlier). The five include: Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, and Othello. If you haven't read Macbeth I highly recommend it.

Also, if anyone has a suggestion of what I should read next it would be greatly appreciated. I am one of those strange people who loves Shakespeare and I am open to almost anything.

Midsummer's night's dream is great

Alicia - Richard II? (A tragedy/history play.) As You Like It? (Comedy.)
