If you are reading Shakespeare and Charles Dickens - check out the spelling of their names!!  lol

 

(why is it non-native English speakers always seem to head for the books that are most difficult to understand?  What´s wrong with a nice modern novel where you would learn modern English? - but stay away from the likes of Irvine Welsh!!)

The most difficult book to understand for me was Joyce´s Ulysses. It physically hurt me to read it for my British literature course at the uni ScaredAs for contemporary writers, I´m currently reading Picoult´s My Sister´s Keeper and I love it

 Shakespeare is completely overrated in my opinion!  He was a soap opera writer for the times (admittedly with some beautiful prose) but hardly deserved of the almost religious devotion that he has gained...

As an english person you are supposed to know that How Shakespeare improved your language.  He is the best playwright ever and it is really not arguable. I cant imagine English Language and literature and Theatre without Shakespeare.  Friends, Romans please dont be so relentless

Well actually it IS arguable!!!  

 

To be the best poet, or not to be, that is the question

Whether ´tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The terrible storylines and outrageous plots

Or to take arms against the de souza and differ

And by opposing end them, To die - to sleep

 

By my troth, de souza, I agree they are beautiful words, but let it never be forgotten that they were written to entertain like a gentle drop of soap opera
