My name is John,

I live in the U.S. (Boston, Ma.) and I've studied Shakespeare for only the past 3 years (2007). I finally have found the patience and yearning to learn of the greatest mind in literature and the human spirit. Indirectly I was led to begin this learning, by a novel I read 5 years ago, "Mary, Queen of Scots" by Margarette George. I was blown away by the lives of these people, whether they were royal or common, and I dove in head first. I have a ways to go with Shakespeare, but by joining everyone here at literature network, it will be fun and insightful. Looking forward to it![/SIZE]
