I have a few projects percolating for next year and would definitely like to find a way to include Shakespeare's sonnets. I've read three of his plays this year (though I didn't post on any of them) and it was my first experience with him since high school. I don't know why I avoided him for so long - turns out, I love Shakespeare!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-22006242727875130912011-11-02T17:50:43.243-07:002011-11-02T17:50:43.243-07:00These are wonderful projects.

I want to read Shakespeare's complete works, and possibly (slim chance) I might be finished with the plays by the end of the year. The poetry though, that's next year's task so I'll be following you with great interest. I struggle with Shakespeare, so I'll be glad to read your thoughts, I think they'll be most helpful :)ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-52006002574340616442011-11-02T08:26:28.969-07:002011-11-02T08:26:28.969-07:00I'm looking forward to your Emily D. poetry we...I'm looking forward to your Emily D. poetry weekly posting. Not so much the Shakespeare sonnets, though. If I remember correctly, I attempted to read them all back in high school when I received a complete 'unabridged' Shakespeare tome as a Christmas gift. Sadly, nothing stuck in the cracks and crannies of my dusty memory cupboard. At least with Emily, everything will be fresh and new and unknown. <br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to expose me (and others) to the joys of poetry. <br /><br />JonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577207213001828243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-39543568928399116992011-11-02T07:03:56.434-07:002011-11-02T07:03:56.434-07:00I love these new projects!

You guys definitely set the bar pretty high for me too, I'm going to have to do my homework each week to make this fun and informative for all of us. I'm really looking forward to getting started. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and rooting me on! Cheers!

I've only ever read a hand full of them as part of our college curriculum. As for Dickinson....I think this one's goign to be new to me. I recall only studying one poem of hers, and I never really got into her at the time. I should like to see how I feel about her now. :DSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707280327803432082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-88967558001226064182011-11-01T16:27:59.610-07:002011-11-01T16:27:59.610-07:00This sounds great - looking forward to it!

After horrible experiences with poetry in both high school and college, I have started to read it again... slowly and with no great intellectual insight, just personal enjoyment.

So I always like hearing other people's thoughts on it, and I really love Emily Dickinson (I love Shakespeare too, but I've only really read his plays). So basically, yes.

I remember how much you enjoyed reading them and decided I really needed to read each one of them too. I'm so glad to know that you'll be keeping an eye on both of these projects of mine. ;-) I will definitely plan on visiting with all of you 'Transcendentalists' too. Thanks for the tip! Cheers!

I'd love to hear your thoughts, and maybe some background on some of them. I might be reading a Dickinson biography at some point.<br /><br />A few of us are holding <a href="http://jillianreadsbooks2.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/coming-in-november-transcendentalist-month/" rel="nofollow">a (very casual) Transcendentalist Event</a> later this month. Some people will be reading Dickinson. You're welcome to join in of course, and share your thoughts. :-) <br /><br />Shakespeare? He makes me laugh -- I adore his poems. I read <a href="http://jillianreadsbooks2.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/book-33-shakespeare%e2%80%99s-sonnets-by-william-shakespeare/" rel="nofollow">all 154 sonnets in order</a> earlier this year. It was a great project. I look forward to your thoughts. ;-D*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.com
