Hi Poetess!How are ye?
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

But I will have to agree to this. King Lear nearly bore me to death.

err..boring?
I can not even imagine a universe in which King Lear is boring. It is as if someone had declared that there is no gravity.
I do not agree with Howard Bloom's every word but his book on Shakespeare was absolutely fascinating and it affirmed the experience I have when reading him.

I have not read that book about Shakespeare. But i agree with you ghideon, to me Shakespeare exemplifies the human condition as a whole. I did not realize how in the midst of so many human faults there is a vibrant spark of beauty of sincerity. Who else can portray this in such a way as Shakespeare? The content of his plays embody every weakness and imperfection of man, yet he verses them in such a perfect, mellifluous way that we seem to rejoice in and be entertained by our follies.

Shakespearian language - I agree is difficult to comprehend but then what are dictionaries for?
I don't like his works because they are never precise and concise. He just wasted time in writing three sentences for showing the love of Romeo for Juliet which he could have done in a single sentence.
In Romeo and Juliet, I just found his writing style focusing too much on dialogues concerning "beauty of the heroine" and "love" (or shall I call it lust) It got really irritating for me to keep on reading the whole thing when he was saying the same thing again and again; of course, the words were different and well choosen, especially the comparison of her with flowers, blah blah blah, but they all meant the same thing which was that to Romeo, Juliet was the prettiest girl that ever existed on earth.
I think that many people like him because he touches the topic "love between a man and a woman" or shall I call it lust? It is something they do like to have a belief in and find it fascinating. Oh well, everyone has a right to have his own believes. But Shakespearian style and his works are just not my cup of tea.
