Its hard to find a collection of short stories that seems so well put together. But this is truly nearly perfect. This will make me read all of Shakespeare

First buddy read, and this was a great foray in to the world of buddy reads! Because Shakespeare is ubiquitous in my life, whether I know it or not, the adaptations were not only good reminders of Shakespeare works I had previously studied but also helpful entry points to learning more about the ones I had not. Some stories were better than others imo, but that's par for the course with collections of short stories. Overall, would recommend!
