Hello fellow Lit-netters,
this morning I received the Complete Works of William Shakespeare (1990 edition) from somebody who has studied English and who knew that I am studying English now too. I am intrigued by it and because I am pretty new to Literature, I definitely want to read it. The only problem I have is, I'm not sure where to start reading. Are there specific works that you would advise me to read first? Some varied works by him that you think are good to start off with? Or do you think that I should just read the index to try and see what seems interesting to me, and just start wherever?
All that I have read from him are three of his sonnets (17, 18 and something over 100, forgot which one exactly) and his play of Julius Caesar, so that is not much yet. If you have any advice for me on what I definitely should read (aside from the other plays, which are the more obvious things that I am already planning to read!) or how to go about the book, please let me know!
