I "read" Romeo and Juliet my feshman year, and Taming of the Shrew my sophomore year.  Oldly enough, I can't remember if anything Shakesphear was read last year.  oh well.  Definitely not taking a literature class this year  :no:

Not crazy about Shakespeare, myself.  :hmm:

We're reading The Odyssey, and the way it's written makes no sense whatsoever. :no:

If you reach Senior year you WILL read another Shakesphere story. Macbeth. And trust me, it took me a MONTH to finish that story. It's an epic.

We might read that later this year, depending on how much time we have left.

I am going to miss ER. I watched ER every Thursday night for about 13 years. I am going to miss them dearly, cuz after they go out, nothing is good on TV anymore. <_<

I watched MacBeth on the video. That video made me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes.

It's a really good story IMO, but when you start reading it, you'll be amazed on how much you have to read. I seen the movie as well...the newer version is better than the old.

We're on Act 5 of Macbeth right now in English. I've yet to even open the book. I hate reading things I have no interest in.

Essentially. Same with Romeo & Juliet. As well as the Scarlet Letter.

Exact same here. I will be reading MacBeth junior year next year, and I am NOT looking forward to it. I sure wish we could have done nothing in English this week...
