James who?

Started MacBeth the other night. A friend is going to come over for dinner with my family and we’re going to read it aloud over several weeks. :D

“If I could write the beauty of your eyes,
And in fresh numbers number all your graces,
The age to come would say, ‘This poet lies,
Such heavenly touches ne’er toucht earthly faces.’”
CassandraWoah thinks of her heart as a butterfly.
If you don’t know Shakespeare, you don’t know words.

I’m gonna try and read Macbeth after I’ve finished reading his Sonnets. My sister says it’s good, and she was made to study it in school. I guess that means it’s better than normal, seeing as she doesn’t hate it to death.
Hamlet – Romeo & Juliet – A Midsummer Night’s Dream – Sonnets
Not too easy to read, the verses kept playing like a song through my head. Read these over 10 years ago, don’t remember much of the stories actually, so they didn’t really leave a deep impression I guess.
Not the whole of it but I’d like to read a few of Shakespeare’s play (and in english…) in 2008.
Worth doing!
Of the posts made in the last year, no one has mentioned my favorite Shakespeare plays: Twelfth Night and Much Ado About Nothing.
I enjoyed those two every time I read them and found them to be among Shakespeare’s more “reader-friendly” plays. If you’re interested in filmed versions of Shakespeare, Kenneth Branaugh’s “Much Ado About Nothing” (1993) and Trevor Nunn’s “Twelfth Night” (1996) are my favorite filmed versions of the two plays.
