Kelly Dowling’s Comments (group member since Feb 26, 2013)

Kelly Dowling’s comments from the Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare group.

Let's start of with a little light poetry - THE SONNETS!
There are 154 sonnets, so aim for reading 26 a day and you will be all finished before Saturday.
I'll be posting additional discussion topics on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
You can get the sonnets a variety of ways.
I use the Shakespeare App on iPad, I also have the Original pronunciation recordings of all the sonnets from David Crystal. If you want to indulge you can purchase them here - WELL WORTH THE PRICE!!!

Welcome to this 52 week challenge to read all of Shakespeare's credited works - plus some disputed ones - in 2016. What better way to celebrate the 400th anniversary of his legacy than to fully explore each play, poem, and collaboration...even the sort of awful ones!

This challenge is for ANYONE who wants to read/re-read Shakespeare and is looking for a fun, nonjudgmental group to share thoughts with. People can join in and drop out at any time. You can read at your own pace and take longer per work than a week if you want!

Each Sunday the work we will read for the upcoming week will get a discussion thread in this folder. Throughout the week comments, questions, and responses are encouraged. People can ABSOLUTELY comment on various plays at any time throughout the year.

Screw your courage to the sticking place and get to ready for the first challenge on Sunday 1/3!

Let's hope the Bard's big 449 B-day will bring some new members to our group. Pass it along to your friends on Goodreads and we'll get this party started!!!

Since we will be mostly dealing with works that reference Shakespeare THE MAN, let's start off with a world where Shakespeare is a god...well, THE GOD really. Pick up a copy and check it out!

Welcome to Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. Please tell us all a bit about yourself. For example, do you plan to die on the same day you were born? Do you have a secret lover that people will speculate about endlessly several centuries from now? Really though, no detail is too small. After all, wouldn't we all like to know if Shakespeare suffered from hay fever???
