    I've read Hamlet twice
    Macbeth twice
    Romeo and Juliet once
    The Tempest once
    Much Ado About Nothing once
    Taming of the Shrew once
    I like Much Ado About Nothing and the Taming of the Shrew because they're like the manga romance stories I read as a teenager

    All of his extant stuff. Major plays 3-4 ish times each. The histories I'm moderately partial to 2ish times, though I love Richard 2 and have read that 4 times. I've reread the sonnets like 0.2 of the way through.

    Good. Prefer Milton.

    Classics major. Still haven't read half the comedies and a couple of the minor histories. Or the sonnets. Or the Phoenix and the Turtle. IMPOSTER SYNDROME, AMIRITE, LADIES

    The histories are so fricking good, though. They should be the Shakespeare taught in high school. Perfect.

    The ones I haven't read: Henry viii, Richard III, Henry vi 1, 2, 3, Merry Wives, Titus. Have read Hamlet and MacBeth at least x 4, Richard ii - Henry V at least x 3, the rest except Cymbeline, Pericles, and Coriolanus x 2. Also all the sonnets, Phoenix, and Lucrece more than once.

    They are plays, you nonce!
    They are not supposed to be READ, they are supposed to be watched/witnessed.

    Also: Edward DeVere
