Maddy, Inferi, Gun, last page
I also hated Shakespeare, but still respect him, so +1 from me, too. Like Gun, I'd also rather read the writings of Ancient authors such as Marcus Aurelius, Sun Tzu, etc. Medieval chronicles are also of interest to me.

It's been several hours now and I have one whole paragraph done on my 5 page essay. It's due on Monday, but I have to work tomorrow (and also I have a fuckton of reading to do for other classes). Rip my life.

I enjoy writings from several other time periods and everything! I can even see how Shakespeare would be so revered! The problem stems from his sense of humor - yeah, mostly dick jokes, but in such flowery language that only people from his time and/or people who study slang from his time can get. So then I just miss 90% of the entertaining parts, and can barely comprehend the rest.
I just play FFXIV at this point. DC: Crystal

Id say that, for me, the language is definitely one of the reasons that I don't like reading his stuff, although I feel like I'd find it boring even if it wasn't said in needlessly grandiose phrasing.

I'm also one of those people that doesn't find many writings from other times - other stuff in the same vein as Shakespeare particularly - very interesting. so that's probably a major factor as well. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

I found Shakespeare's language kind of grandiose and fun, even if it wasn't wholly comprehensible to the modern ear. Personally, I think Shakespear's works are best viewed in their intended medium - performance, not writing.
