Shakespeare may be a classic, but most of it is morose, hard to read and quite boring. Many of the characters are overly-dramatic and none-too-bright. I do not find Shakespeare great at all. That is not to say he couldn't piece together a story--he does. But I find his work very avoidable and were it up for nomination for anything other than "Depressing" I wouldn't vote for it.
...and just for contrast, my 19 year old son loves Shakespeare. He loves the characters and the stories, and doesn't find it hard to read at all.
