This is a bootleg.
Shakespeare really was one saucy bastard.
For senior year, they’ve made us read Othello (which is great when you have a class full of idiots who don’t understand the basic background of the play), the Metamorphosis (which was a depressing bit of self-loathing), and The Things They Carried (which owns like a motherfucker.)
To Kill A Mockingbird was pretty good.
I really only cared about One Flew Over the Coocoo’s nest. Mostly cause it had crazy people.

I don’t remember Chaucer, but Beowulf was a neat read for it’s time period. I did read Shakespeare, but I never saw an interest until Princess♥Luna talked about them.
In my English courses, I mostly remember poems about small stuff as well as To Kill a Mockingbird, and the Metamorphosis. I liked both, even if I was forced to read them.
Gotta love how everyone thinks Shakespeare is all mature and that.

Then you realize he was apparently a fan of dick jokes.
Hindsight is a bitch ain’t it?
Also Julius Caesar is the best Shakespeare play, especially if you the real history.
Shakespeare is one of those things that gets better when you realize that he was the Renaissance equivalent of an exploitation director. Also, when you realize Romeo and Juliet was not meant as a romance. XD
I read all three for English. But yeah, I also don’t like Shakespeare but I do like the Canterbury Tales and Beowulf.
Ironically, while I DESPISE Shakespeare because of English class, it got me to appreciate Chaucer and Beowulf.
When you’re forced to read something you inevitably like it less.
That’s why I didn’t like English.
Although I think the analysis of the eyeglass billboard was…um…counterproductive.
Hark! A Vagrant’s comics are the only source of entertainment I got out of reading that archaic relic.
I don’t think it helped that I was forced to read it.
