Plays

[close] Have you thought about how many plays Shakespeare wrote? 37. Have you read one or two? Do you want to read more of them? Then join us on this quest to read more Shakespeare together! We are planning on reading a Shakespeare play every month and discussing it at the end in a liveshow on Youtube. It will take us just over 3 years, but we're up for the challenge. Feel free to join us at any point of this journey to pick up a play and talk about it with us (or talk about something you read years ago). However many you choose to join with us for, we're happy to see more people reading Shakespeare!

[close] This book club is ONLY for books that are WRITTEN VERY WELL and have a GREAT STORY LINE. We ask that each member shelve at least 2 exceptional books that they've read but may shelve as many as they want. I spend a lot of time trying to find those EXCEPTIONAL books and have to wade through many poorly written books to find them. If you have this same problem then join our group and add to our group bookshelf ONLY the books you believe are EXCEPTIONAL. This group can encompass any genre of book, fiction or non fiction. As long as you believe that it is a book someone MUST read before they die. This group is not about getting a lot of members, it's about getting a lot of great books shelved on our bookshelf. That way when your feeling in a reading slump, you can come to this group and find an exceptional book listed on our bookshelf that you know will be written well and have a great story line to it. If you put a book on our bookshelf, please create a shelf for it so other people can easily pick out a book from the particular genre they like. Note to author's: You are all more than welcome to join our group but please do not shelve your own books. You probably wrote a great book but let others say its great. Please only shelve the books (other than yours) that you think are exceptional books.

[close] In this group we will be tackling the complete works of William Shakespeare, one play per month, in whatever order I can justify at the time. I'll be posting a general discussion, as well as a deep dive into a specific passage, for each play on my booktube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qBKZan4C7SMcuy5VIPFMQ). If you also make a video (or blog post), do post it in the appropriate thread. Upcoming Schedule: July 2018 - Othello August 2018 - Much Ado About Nothing September 2018 - The Winter's Tale

Here's the schedule: January: Twelfth Night February: Romeo and Juliet March: Julius Caesar April: Hamlet May: Much Ado About Nothing June: A Midsummer's Night Dream July: The Tempest August: The Merchant of Venice September: Richard III October: Macbeth November: King Lear December: The Winter's Tale
