Nothing But Reading Challenges
The Shakespearian Challenge
Duration: 6/21/2019 - Til Done!

Progress: 0 out of 62

I have always wanted to read all of Shakespeare's plays, but never have. So I have decided to challenge all you brilliant readers out there who have ever been tempted to read all of Shakespeare's works as well. In honor of the fact that his works appear to be classics and timeless in their themes this challenge will have no time limits. Just record as you go with no pressure to read them by some set date.

The following list was gotten from Wikipedia. Let me know if anyone sees any errors or knows if any are difficult to obtain. I'm thinking the ones under the heading 'Lost Plays' will be unobtainable, but I listed them anyway. Also, I've included his sonnets, poems and apocryphas. I'll leave it up to you to decide if you'll read just Shakespeare's plays or everything you can get your hands on.
