My question's are

Are there any Shakespeare fans?
Have you read any Shakespeare, and which?


I've never read any, but I think it's something I should do. Can anyone recommend any of his? I like comedy.
'Much ado about nothing'
'The Tempest'
'The Merchants of Venice'
'A Midsummer nights dream' but Shakespearean comedy is nothing like modern day comedy; its more about a play on words with a good sprinkling of insults and plenty of metaphors.

Personally I'd go for bloody...'Macbeth' is my favourite
