About
I am a nerd who wants to actually deeply read all the works in Shakespeare from the least to most popular. You can join (or just observe) my decent into madness here. Also if you want to join me (as seriously as I'm taking it or not), I also have a challenge:

There are a few different types of forums for these readalongs.
1. General Discussion Forums for Each Act: These forums should be used for any comment you like about the act. These can be things like your thoughts, comments on characters, or even just copy pasted quotes. I suggest making these comments while reading each act.
2. Themes: I find a brief summary of themes for each play. There is a forum for each theme. Please feel free to talk about the themes in general as well as provide quotes or page numbers revolving around the theme. I suggest mostly using these forums while reading. Please be careful for spoilers though.
3. End of Book Questions: (If I can) I find discussion questions about the play. Answer questions by commenting on the questions. You may also add your own questions if you think of ones yourself. This forum should be used after completing the play.
4. Essay Topic Brainstorming: There is a place to talk about essays if you want to write them. (Writing essays are one of the best ways to learn and retain information from stuff your read!)
5. Essay: This is a place to post final essays.
6. Suggestions: This is a place to give suggestions for the readalong/future readalongs.
