    If it comes down to it, I'd gladly read either as well (it was I that voted for Troilus and Cressida, by the way).

    Well it's early Dori. There's a long way to go. I'm going to hold my vote until it comes down to two or three.

    I voted as well "Troilus and Cressida"... I lately finished it and needs some( especially in the middle part -I was lost) enlightenment. I'll hold my copy for a while and start reading it again perhaps.

    I actually studied T&C in class, but it has been a long time. I will think on my vote a bit.

    I'm new to Shakespeare, so I'm eager to read anything! I voted for King Lear; that's the one I'm looking forward to reading, but I'll happily go with the flow.

    wessexgirl, I have been asking the same question and could not locate the thread but now I finally found it. The thread is called Sticky: Richard II

    I tried a link and it won't work - I have no idea why. If you just put in Shakespeare you will find it listed under the title I mentioned.

    Having never read Antony and Cleopatra, I'd love to do it for the bookclub, but I don't know if I'll have time to post then. Spring is a long way off. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it stays in the running.

    I'll read whiever play wins the poll. However if it has to be a historical play then I'd rather read Henry IV (part 1) which is why I've voted for it.

    I got the Historical plays for Christmas and just finished King John and will keep on going chronologically because I imagine that it's easier to follow....
