Cu-check. Read Othello. One of the few Shakespearean tragedies I had never read. Much like I expected: miscommunication and treachery leading to turmoil, heartbreak, and death of innocent and guilty alike. That Billy Shakespeare is quite talented. He was working me overtime. I admit I had to sit next to the dictionary and fill my margins with notes as I read. And yes, one of my notes says, "He talks a good talk, but he's full of it." That Iago is a punk. A real piece of work.

Wow! I am impressed! I read this story of woe in college....but enjoyed the film version much better.....just enough steamy scences to spark this Baptist college girl's interest! I must say my fav W.S. work is Taming of the Shrew....I admire a woman who knows how to play hard to get and can rustle a man's feathers.
When did you make your list? I think I read Othello in High School, but I don't remember much, my reading comprehension stinks!
Wow, I'm impressed! I just usually wait for Shakespear in the park to come and I go see it.
