<p>bsb: did you read my post at all? I bite my thumb at you!</p>
<p>in small short sentences: Shakespeare is like an ABC book. It teaches basics in analysis and organization. These skills are very important in all other fields. Discipline is good. It makes you a better person.</p>
<p>“I bite my thumb at you!”</p>
<p>Haha oh I did love Merchant of Venice! I found it to be pretty funny at some parts and really a good read.</p>
<p>Isn’t it in Romeo + Juliet, too? That’s my favorite of Shakespeare’s plays so far. I guess it isn’t appreciated that much by the literati, but it has a special place in my heart.</p>
<p>Oops, yeah. I mean R+J. I’m getting rusty!</p>
<p>What about Taming of the Shrew? I hear it’s pretty funny, but I don’t have the energy to take up reading it on top of the other stuff I have to do at the moment. I’ve also been told to read some Nabokov other than Lolita… I might be more partial to that suggestion because Nabokov’s writing style is just so damn exquisite.</p>
<p>Lolita=gorgeous and disturbing and so beautiful immoral. I’d give up twenty years of my life to write like that. </p>
<p>Taming of the Shrew is funny, up until the point where Kate gives up and becomes meek and obedient. grrr. such a waste.</p>
