I really do not see why people are so in love with Shakespeare (if he eve wrote all his plays) Most of his works were based on earlier plays or stoies.

Would it be OK to ask, then, what you do enjoy reading? Folks who dismiss Shakespeare as glibly as you do, and for the reasons you do, surely must be reading something.

It is not that I hate Shakespeare, I enjoyed Macbeth and Hamlet a lot, and I ejoyed Romeo and Juliet as well. I however do not understand how he is held to be one of the greatest of all time.
