Also not a fan of Shakespeare! I had to read Romeo and Juiet in High School and do a whole essay on it...I managed that but not the others...!
I enjoyed Animal Farm and A Tale of Two Cities...i've not read/attempted any of the others you mentioned! __________________

I loved Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies!
I'm a sucker for Shakespeare stuff, but yeah i would need a teacher to help me understand what they are saying. But find it fascinating __________________

If Shakespeare wrote like authors these days, would you find his stories still boring? Like Hamlet?
