Recently Read: King John
Just another Shakespeare. Very little to say here, I'm just posting as a reminder that I've chalked it off my list. It was a very good read - quick, enjoyable, interesting. Again though, I don't really have anything to add that might be interesting to people. I should note, for my own record, that it felt like a Shakespeare. It wasn't overly flowery, but it had the feel. There was nothing below standard. I have a few more history plays to work through, but after that I think I'll have read pretty much everything by Shakespeare. (This is excluding the sonnets. I should read them really, but I so hate poetry. They're only fourteen lines long, so I have no excuse. Maybe I should do it for thoroughness, though I fear I'll simply read them by rote without taking in the content.) Either way, I'll have to move to plays by other writers soon. Though I could focus my reading time somewhere else entirely.
