Hey guys, I'm proud of you for broadening your reading interests. That is one grand benefit of e-reading and the ease of access to many different genre of books.

Remember, Shakespeare's plays were meant to be enjoyed by the masses. They were not snooty. So my advice is to skim through the footnotes to familiarize yourself with the history or myth the play is based upon. Then sit back and read it. If you don't understand every line, just skip it and keep going.

The point is to be entertained, not become a Shakespeare scholar on your first reading.

Happy reading!
