So I have decided a new challenge is in order and that challenge is Shakespeare. I will be honest I have only ever read Shakespeare for school but this year I have read Twelfth Night and Venus and Adonis for fun and really enjoyed them so I have decided to read everything by Shakespeare. I’m discrediting the ones I read for school and I plan on reading them again without the pressure of having to write an essay on them.
So here is the list. (If you click the crossed out ones you will go to the review)
Plays
- All’s Well That Ends Well
- Antony and Cleopatra
- As You Like It
- The Comedy of Errors
- Coriolanus
- Cymbeline
- Hamlet
- 1 Henry IV
- 2 Henry IV
- Henry V
- 1 Henry VI
- 2 Henry VI
- 3 Henry VI
- Henry VIII
- Julius Caesar
- King John
- King Lear
- Love’s Labour’s Lost
- Macbeth
- Measure for Measure
- The Merchant of Venice
- The Merry Wives of Windsor
- A Midsummer Night’s Dream
- Much Ado About Nothing
- Othello
- Pericles
- Richard II
- Richard III
- Romeo and Juliet
- The Taming of the Shrew
- The Tempest
- Timon of Athens
- Titus Andronicus
- Troilus and Cressida
Twelfth Night- The Two Gentlemen of Verona
- The Winter’s Tale
Non Plays
- Sonnets
Venus and Adonis- Lover’s Complaints
- Passionate Pilgrim
- Phoenix and the Turtle
- Rape of Lucrece
I’m not setting a time limit on the challenge because I have a lot of studying to do this year and next so I’m not sure just how much reading I will get done. I am rather excited to get going on this challenge.
This sounds like a great project! I really hope you will enjoy it! I have seen quite some of the plays performed but should still read the texts!

Thank you. I am the same. I always enjoy watching a performance so I’m hoping I feel the same about reading them.
