That’s an impressive amount of Shakespeare! I really want to read some Shakespeare with my kids this year (especially after reading Ken Ludwig’s book) and maybe take in a play or two. Did you go to any plays?
Jenni says that she tries to read Shakespeare in a year every year. She just enjoys the challenge and the education she gets from reading through all of it every year. That said, no, she hasn’t been to any plays this year. 🙂
