A timeless classic. I don't often read plays, or Shakespeare for that matter, but I found this one impossible to put down. Explores true human connection, and the value of that connection within our lives.

Wow, really a masterpiece. So many quotable lines, but some of my favorites were by Edgar/Poor Tom, e.g.
"wine loved I deeply, dice dearly: and in woman
out-paramoured the Turk: false of heart, light of
ear, bloody of hand; hog in sloth, fox in stealth,
wolf in greediness, dog in madness, lion in prey.
Let not the creaking of shoes nor the rustling of
silks betray thy poor heart to woman: keep thy foot
out of brothels, thy hand out of plackets, thy pen
from lenders' books, and defy the foul fiend.
Still through the hawthorn blows the cold wind:"

read most of this in paris when my feet were falling off bc i continue to walk 5+ miles in the most uncomfortable shoes humanly possible. i'm ngl i got very distracted by the fact that apparently fe3h golden deer's surnames were taken from this. good quick read though.
