Look. Is it Romeo and Juliet's fault that I've been forced to study this stupid play for school ad nauseum and that culturally it's been beaten into the ground? No. 

Am I still salty and mildly resentful that I'm being made to study it *yet again*? Yes.

The audiobook version I listened to (by Arkangel) was excellent. Really phenomenally acted. Though with the lack of stage directions, I would've been totally lost if I wasn't already so familiar with the play.
