Update: Seven plays into my current spree, I'm going to have to put this on hold due to a lack of time. I've now read 17 total- my most severe weakness is the histories (have only read Richard III and Henry IV). When I come back to this project, I think that I will be reading those in order.
1st: Macbeth (finished-review posted)
2nd: Two Gentlemen of Verona (finished-review posted)
3rd: King Lear (finished-review posted)
4th: Merchant of Venice (finished-review posted)
5th: Othello (finished-review posted)
6th: Comedy of Errors (finished-review posted)
7th: Antony and Cleopatra (finished)
Original Post: I've been thinking about doing this for awhile, but as it is Shakespeare's birthday, I've decided that now is the time to start this project. I want to read everything, starting with the plays I haven't read in awhile, or at all, and moving to the ones I'm more familiar with. I'll post individual reviews as I go through.

... also the part where they had Athena come down at the end for the deus ex machina with plastic wings with a plastic sword and shield attached to them that she couldn't actually move while she lectured people, was pretty funny too. :)

My program told me that Sophocles was a great admirer of Euripides. There was a quote in there by him about Euripides that went something like "I show men as they ought to be, Euripides shows men as they are." ... so I guess he thought men were rather strange. :)



And, thanks, Jesse! Always good to know a project is of interest/use to someone other than myself! Revisiting Shakespeare is always a good idea, I think-one of the few authors where you're nearly always sure to find something new.

Okay, end minor rant. *blush* Anywaysss...



Of course, I may start kicking myself wondering what I was thinking halfway through, too. :)
(But I don't think so.)
