On a different note, has anyone read "To Be or Not To Be: That is the Adventure"? It's a choose-your-own-adventure type story that's based off of "Hamlet" and I find it hilarious!
And also "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" (a play from R+G'd perspective) is hilarious as well, I need to see a staged version at some point!
Yeesh I guess I really am obsessed with Hamlet haha.

The one thing that I absolutely love about Shakespeare is that when you crack open a play, you must be prepared to hunker down. Shakespearean language does not come naturally to most - myself included. I read Shakespeare very very slowly and believe this is how Shakespeare should be read. I am normally a very fast reader. I zoom through books sometimes within days. That's just how I read. But, a bit like life, you have to stop and smell the roses - and that is what Shakespeare is. It requires in-depth thought, and that takes time. Let me tell you how refreshing it was to take almost a month and a half to finish Twelfth Night. I knew that I devoured every last morsel of that play, and I felt satisfied.
To read Shakespeare you must take your time. It's relaxing and enjoyable. It's that hour or two of your week that you can truly slow down, take a breather, and immerse yourself in Shakespeare.
Thank you for this discussion.
