I'd much rather read Shakespeare than the Catcher in the fucking Rye. God, I hated that book. :x

The only Shakespeare that we read was MacBeth, which was pretty good.

Although I haven't read it in years, so I can't really remember most of it.

It wasn't a bad book IMO, a little off, but not bad per se...

Maybe by reading the complete works of Jacqueline Susann, and the novels of Harold Robbins.

Just got around to watching this straight through. Got to say, I would love to have this guy on the forum. I really couldn't disagree with anything he covered even if I tried.
