I just reread it too. I remember hating it in high school (probably because I had to read it) but found that I liked it much more this time around. I think it's taken a different tone for me now.

Hello Goodreads people. My name is Dana and I'm just starting to branch myself out in more area's of goodreads. I joined the sight for recommendations and to discuss literature and a year later, I'm not really sure why I haven't done just that.

I live in Oregon where reading is beneficial because it rains most days. Thankfully, rain is one of my favorite sounds. :) I'm an avid reader of just about anything, though I love fantasy (not high fantasy though) and have a special little place in my heart for fairy tales, especially Peter Pan.

I currently just started a blog (deleted the one from the young adult years) that's mainly about books. Give it a look if you'd like. I can't wait to start discussing books with everyone here.

I know I'm a little late to the game in this board but I just finished reading "Much Ado About Nothing" to prepare for the upcoming movie. I loved it. The banter between the main characters is smart and funny. I can't wait to see it come to life on the big screen.

What I was wondering though, is why this isn't one of his plays that is taught in school? It's been a debate between a friend and me for some time and I can't figure out why Much Ado falls to the dusty corners like it does. It's one of his better pieces, in my opinion.

I wrote a blog about it not too long ago. Take a look if you're interested. http://papertales4u.blogspot.com/2013...

I love the fact that you guys are doing this. I've been looking for good blogs all day. Here's mine to add to the list. Can't wait to read everyone elses.
