Read the complete works of Shakespeare

haven’t read it in a while thought I would read it again since I am going to be in this one as well

Wouldn’t put it at the top of my list of favorites for Shakespeare, but its fun…and I get to be in it!!

Several of these will be rereads – because the only thing I really remember about the play is that I did read it once.
Henry VI part I – reread in progress

You’ve all read many more than me (I’ve only read four and seen two others), but I’m only in tenth grade and I’m working on it. I bought the Complete Works of Shakespeare a week ago and I plan to start with Merchant of Venice and go from there with whatever else I feel like.

So far I’ve read:
Romeo and Juliet
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Twelfth Night
Titus Andronicus (and also saw this one performed)

And I saw:
Jullius Caesar
Hamlet

Titus Andronicus is my favorite, though I haven’t seen many of you list it as one that you’ve read. You should give it a try, it’s really…interesting. :D

Now I’ve got a lot of catching up to do!

thus far i’ve read nine of his plays (my favorite of those was merchant of venice); i think i’ll take a break from those, though, and focus on his sonnets for a while.

I have read:
Hamlet
Romeo & Juliet
The Taming of the Shrew
King Lear
Julius Caesar
A Midsummer Night’s Dream

and a number of assorted sonnets

but I think I will re-read them all for this goal

I’ve gotten started on this goal – I read about a dozen of his plays – but I’ve had trouble following through. I love Shakespeare, though, and I know I’m going to do this. I think I’m going to start with “The Winter’s Tale” – because it’s one I’m curious about, and I haven’t read it yet.

I finished Two Gentlemen of Verona today, which I liked a lot, and started on The Merry Wives of Windsor. Does anyone know if the characters Falstaff, Pistol, Nym and Bardolph from The Merry Wives of Windsor are the same characters with those names in Henry IV and Henry V?

I finished All’s Well that End’s Well and started Two Gentlemen of Verona. There are 37 plays, 5 poems, and 160 sonnets in my Complete Shakespeare. Before I started this goal, I had already read 12 plays and one poem and now I have read a total of 13 plays and one poem so I have 24 plays, 4 poems and 160 sonnets left to go. If I read one play a week, which should be an easy enough goal, and then take two more weeks to read the poems and sonnets, I will be done with this goal by the second of April, 2009.

I finally got my complete Shakespeare sent up from my parents house so I can read it in book form and not just online. Now I can work on my goal on the bus and on my lunch breaks and any other time when I am without my computer. Still workin on All’s Well that Ends Well. Its a very Shakespearean plot, full of switching people around and confused identities.
