Having only read/studied/watched adaptations of Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, Coriolanus, and Macbeth (the latter being my favourite), it was very interesting to experience a sample of soliloquies from a range of Shakespeare's plays. This little black classic put each passage in context of the play and the particular scene that meant I wasn't required to research each play to have an understanding of the passages. 

This has encouraged me to get to more Shakespeare, and from the soliloquies in here, I think Twelfth Night, Hamlet, and Cymbeline will be my priorities.
