he SAID that shit

[8/10] How am I supposed to give a star rating to Shakespeare's sonnets...? Just as fun to read as they were in high school. (Re-)read for Brit Lit.

The sonnets weren't bad but the commentary was.

I fell in love with Shakespeare's sonnets. I dog eared and underlined some of my favorites. This will be a book I will open many more times.

Alcuni di questi Sonetti sono stata aria fresca, scritti da un anima che sembra affine.
Altri svenevoli, probabilmente non capiti in quanto mi hanno dato quasi l'impressione di essere scritti da un amore tossico e troppo dipendente.
Ma la gioia di trovarsi, talvolta, nella penna shakespeariana è sempre impagabile.

Enjoyed reading these alongside Luke Kennard’s Notes but I feel reading them out of order disrupted them somewhat. I’ll look forward to revisiting them with a more analytical slant soon. 
emotional reflective relaxing fast-paced
