Welcome to Gaia! ::

Who here likes William Shakespeare? I think he's a great poet.
His plays (at the time) were viewed as historically the best.
I didn't like McBeth too much; it was pretty wicked evil but I just didn't feel it as a powerful play. I've seen Romeo & Juliet and that one was okay. But HAMLET...
WOAH!!!!! "To be or NOT to be; THAT is the question."
This holds so much meaning to philosophy, it's a surprise no great philosopher thought of it before.

I only put up Tolkien for the LOTR books (and films) but I've read parts of "The Hobbit" and it was pretty good.
I'll have to check out "Midnight Summer's Dream."

But it was Sydney Sheldon's "If Tomorrow Comes" that drew me to HIS novels.
I've read most of them and I haven't been disappointed yet.

At the moment, however, I'm reading "The Many Essays of Francis Bacon";
very intellectual man, very intellectual work, I would recommend it to anybody going into law school and to anybody seeking advice on such matters that he wrote about; his essays can be found online. (there is also a rumor going about that William Shakespeare MIGHT be Sir Francis Bacon due to the similarities in their writing styles, their use of words, their view on life, and etc.)

i picked other because my favorite author is Cornellea Funke
