Iearned the hard way that sticking to the same thing all the time can mean you get very bored of a genre and it's then hard to go back to it.<br /><br />Teddyree, I am a wee bit jealous that you still have so many good books to read. Whilst the later books aren't as good they are still enjoyable reads.<br /><br />Kylie, I am a sucker for book covers.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-21304650704821261062012-01-10T00:07:31.248-08:002012-01-10T00:07:31.248-08:00Great list.

A friend of mine is classics obsessed and I am always astounded by how much knowledge she has (even though I should know better by now). She told me about this one when she heard how much I loved East of Eden. I am so excited about it. I am sure there are loads of people who haven't read Shakespeare. This is the first I have read since I had to for school. I don't think he's a must read for everyone. It all depends on what you like (my humble opinion anyway).<br /><br />Lori, I had mixed views on Shakespeare at school. I think it comes down to what you read and your teacher. My first experience wasn't a good one. My teacher wasn't exactly interested as it clearly wasn't to her taste (she was a sci fi fan which was usually what she pushed on us, no that I minded since I like sci fi). We had to read The Merchant of Venice. For a start I didn't particularly like it and for another the lack of enthusiasm from my teacher was obvious. The second was Romeo and Juliet. A different teacher who clearly loved Shakespeare and I loved the story too.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-28766854480068183192012-01-09T08:05:25.959-08:002012-01-09T08:05:25.959-08:00Very Interesting Choices.
