I've only covered Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet (for GCSE), and Julius Caesar so far - how about you guys?

Just the standard school text R&J. I couldn't read it for fun, I find it so cumbersome and tough going.

I've not read as much as I'd like, I read 'MacBeth' and 'Romeo and Juliet' at school and in my own time I've read 'Hamlet' and 'The Merchant of Venice' the latter being my favourite but I would like to get round to reading some more.

Midsummer Night's Dream
Romeo and Juliet
Macbeth
King Lear
A little Othello when I studied King Lear.
King Lear was awesome. Got a B in A Level English Lit and I'm sure King Lear saved my ****ing life there -- I got to to analyse the **** out of the characters and I basically gave them each a psych evaluation.
If it wasn't for sleep deprivation I totally would have mindgasmed that day.

Romeo and Juliet, Merchant of Venice. In some form or another I've seen Othello, Richard II, Henry IV parts I and II, Henry V, Macbeth. Not great for an English student.

Macbeth, Twelfth Night, Henry VI parts I, II and III, Richard III, Richard II, Hamlet, Taming of the Shrew, Romeo and Juliet, and Merchant of Venice.
I have seen many more, but these are the only ones I have read. I prefer his history plays to the comedies if I am honest.

Bits of The Tempest which weren't too bad, Romeo and Juliet (eurgh; sorry it's just a bit overrated), Macbeth was... ok I guess, same with Othello, more recently bits of A Midsummer Night's Dream which is nice enough, Much Ado About Nothing and I start Hamlet next month. My school likes Shakespere... a lot.

Are they ALL for school? I mean if some are for fun then fine, but if that's all your school, I mean when do you have the chance to sleep?

A handful were studied on Renaissance to Enlightenment and Renaissance Tragedy modules that I did, otherwise Shakespeare just tends to pop up quite a bit over the entirety of my degree. He is without a doubt my most studied author.

And I study English, there is no sleep when you need to read four books of primary reading alone a week.

All were for University apart from the sonnets, Richard II, Henry IV 1 & 2, Henry V and Much Ado about nothing.

Half the degree I want to study is English... now I'm very scared.

English is intense at University, but it is manageable. I study so many books a week because I do purely English. So if you do half and half English with something else, I'm guessing you'd take two english modules each semester, so you'd be doing maybe two books a week/fortnight instead of my four.

Macbeth, King Lear, The Tempest, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and Merchant of Venice. Seen 2 of those at the RSC, too.
And... I'm not doing any Shakespeare at uni. Feel like a bad English student but I think it's time to let Shakespeare go.

Oops! Didn't mean to scare.
