I honestly don't like Shakespeare that much. Now I am always willing to give it a chance but it seems to be getting harder to enjoy the stories. If I see remakes of them I feel I would enjoy them more but the original text is more for annualizing in my opinion.

Truthfully I actually liked Macbeth. In my opinion it's Shakespeare's best piece of work, and although I still am not a huge fan of him, I do praise him for Macbeth. Shakespeare's writing is unique and hard to understand. However, when I was able to figure out the meaning of things it made me appreciate Shakespeare's work because he was very talented and creative. This is the only thing I would recommend from Shakespeare. I also wanted to add that I never new the chorus of a song in Prisoner of Azkaban "double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble" was taken from this book!
