You guys, I have an idea. I am kicking off a ten-year re-read of the Complete Works, and I think you should join me. No pressure to read the whole thing if TItus Andronicus gives you the wobblies, but wouldn't your life be better with a little more Shakespeare in it?
My plan is to read King Lear in January, Comedy of Errors in February, Titus Andronicus in March, and 1 Henry IV in April. I'll put up a short post each Saturday about what I've been reading, filling in the gaps between plays with some of the poetry. Perhaps if I spread the sonnets out over several weeks they won't have that Devil Went Down To Georgia vibe (repetitive, annoying, self-aggrandizing).
Your task: read whatever Shakespeare catches your eye. Blog about it and share a link to your post, or comment here if you prefer. I think I'll probably do it each week until the end of April and then pick up again in 2016. If it turns out that this corner of the blogosphere is clamoring for a regular Shakespeare blog carnival (and why wouldn't it be?), we can re-evaluate. Who's in??
