DID NOT COMPLETE

Risa over at Breadcrumb Reads figured that the best way to read the Shakespeare plays that she hadn’t studied in school would be to read the with others, and to have a read-along. Hence Reading Shakespeare: A Play a Month in 2012 was born. A poll held from 01 November 2011 till 01 December 2011 determined the 12 plays we would be reading in 2012.

Since I really enjoy reading Shakespeare (since I have The Complete Pelican Shakespeare, with copious footnotes to explain the old guy), I’m going to join in. I don’t think many of the plays I voted for made it into the final list, but no matter – I want to read all of Shakespeare eventually anyway.

Here’s our schedule:
January — A Midsummer Night’s Dream
February — Macbeth
March — Henry V
April — Much Ado About Nothing
May — Antony and Cleopatra
June — Richard III
July — As You Like It
August — King Lear
September — Cymbeline
October — Twelfth Night
November — Othello
December — Pericles
