“To die, - To sleep, - To sleep!
Perchance to dream: - ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;”

Thanks for the friend invite, Brendan! :)Yes, I'm a fan of Shakespeare, though I'm ashamed to admit I've ever only read his sonnets, Romeo&Juliet and Hamlet.
It's a pleasure being your friend my fellow Poetter Head and Shakespeare's fan/author.I am excited to read your book and you came at the right time for me because I was thinking how to make my children (future children) enjoy Shakespeare like I once did when I was a child but for me I was more open to reading a full play unlike the iPad genration today.
Nice to meet you;
