Good morning 3.5 readers.
Did you know that this year marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death?
Too soon, Bill. Too soon.
As you avid 3.5 readers may be aware, the Shakes-meister is a friend to the Bookshelf Battle Blog.
When I died on the toilet after eating a lightning infused toaster pastry, I met him in the afterlife. He was assigned to be my spiritual guide.
But enough of my bragging. The next time I talk to Billy Shakes (he still calls me from time to time, it’s a little creepy) which one of his plays should I tell him is your favorite?

MacBeth. It speaks to the current political situation.
how so?
Haven’t reread it for a while, but if I remember correctly, it was about unbridled political ambition, although Lady MacBeth was the real villain. Julius Caesar also fits that political mold.
Twelfth Night for comedies (I played Sir Toby in a high school play).
King Lear for dramas.
Cool. I played a guard or someone who was supposed to arrest the main character in a Comedy of Errors. So many Shakespearans about.
Much Ado About Nothing is up there pretty high for comedy. Julius Caesar is probably my favorite drama.
