Anybody fancy reading Shakespeare with me?

I have read and seen a lot of them. But that was in school and I want to appreciate them as an adult.

Anyone fancy reading and discussing?

Ooooh, me, me, haven't read any for years (and I think they are infinitely better to read than to watch being performed).

Brilliant! I agree about the reading being better than performing- Perhaps it's my mind that works slowly (the cogs creak!) but I miss a lot of its beauty when I'm watching it.

What d'you fancy reading first then? I'll order it on amazon, they're never more than a few quid, second hand.

Can I join in?! I'd mildly prefer a comedy, but perhaps one of the more complex ones ? Measure for Measure, Twelfth Night ..

But will go along with anything. Need to get the ol' brain working again. Great idea, Belle.

Measure For Measure then! Never read it, no idea what it's about, but it's a good a place as any to start...

Brilliant. Do we have a timescale/deadline?

BelleEnd · 18/05/2011 20:09

Shall we start it beginning of next week and see how we go?
