Rachel at Hibernator’s Library is working on a plan to take on Shakespeare in 2019. She will read and share four of his comedies, and, to help her out, Erica at The Broken Spine will read and share four of his tragedies. Rachel is still looking for someone to read and share four of his histories. Let The Classics Club or Rachel or Erica know if you might like to join in or offer support for this venture.

2019 year of Shakespeare anyone? Maybe one play a month?

I could possibly get behind that.

We could even make it into a 3 year project to get all the plays, if people got really excited. Though that seems long. 😁

Part of me says, “Absolutely!” and part of me says, “Yeah, prolly not gonna happen.” Maybe make a poll and have people vote on what they’d like to have included? Or let everyone choose their own things and just have it be a “read some Shakespeare” event like the Women Authors event from a year or two ago?

I was thinking more aling the lines of voting for the plays, and everyone reading the same. But we could also split it into 4 month tragedy, comedy, history and let people read however many they want.
