I love that this thread turned into a Shakespeare lovefest and that Pearl Jam fans on this board can quote Shakespeare.
You guys are awesome.
We are, aren't we?
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
my list changes constantly, at the moment it's a bit dominated by Kerouac, so I'll limit him to 2 of the spots, and I'm aware that a lot of people hate him, I think I've taken shit for liking him on this board already. That being said, in no particular order:
The Dharma Bums - Jack Kerouac
On the Road - Jack Kerouac
The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
For Whom the Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway
Tropic of Cancer - Henry Miller
The Last Hurrah - Edwin O'Connor
The Mind's I - Douglas Hofstadter
Walden - Henry Thoreau
God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater - Kurt Vonnegut
Kafka On the Shore - Haruki Murakami
"Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH..."
I do live in NY, but I haven't been known as anything else except PJ212 on this board.
Do you guys go see theatre a lot? I think I saw one of the best productions of Macbeth last year I'll probably ever see. Patrick Stewart played Macbeth

I'm lucky to live only about an hour away from Stratford, ON, which holds a highly regarded annual Shakespeare Festival.
I've seen some amazing performances.
Last year, or maybe the year before I saw Much Ado About Nothing, and half the crowd was stone-faced throughout. I thought it was fucking hilarious, I laughed my ass off! I couldn't tell if the people didn't understand what was going on (as happens a lot at the Stratford Festival, a lot of people go so they can say they went), or if they actually live their lives without cracking a smile.
I couldn't afford to attend any performances this year, much to my chagrin...they were showing R&J, Hamlet, and The Taming of the Shrew ....clearly not the year to miss it. :(
I did however see an outdoor performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream locally this summer, performed by a youth theatre group, and they did so well! It was awesome!
This isn't Shakespeare, but last year at the Stratford Festival I saw a performance of To Kill A Mockingbird, and it was so amazing. Amazing doesn't do it justice really. It moved me to tears.
The woman who was sitting next to me cried the whole time, she could hardly contain herself, and at the end, she immediately jumped up and started clapping and cheering, then she looks at me and apologized.
Apparently her son was the kid playing Dill and it was the first show he'd ever been in. It was so cute, she was so proud!

That's honestly the only passage of the buy-bull I'm able to recite.
How do I love thee, Samuel L. Jackson? Let me count the ways...
"The world fascinates me."
"Doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you"
