I'm in the UK - do you all have to read it in school in the US too?

I have something of a love-hate relationship with Shakespeare, and have had since school. Take Hamlet, for example. For quotable lines to make a point with, it's brilliant. The plot's halfway decent (although Rosencrantz and Guildernstern are Dead is far, far superior
), too. But amongst other complaints he takes so sodding long to die at the end (a point I made rather strongly in an essay on why Hamlet was considered a tragedy. Fortunately my English teacher not only understood, but actively rewarded, sarcasm)
