Shakespeare

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I love Shakespeare, he was like..amazing. McBeth is probably my favorite play, and my favorite sonnet is (surprise surprise) Sonnet 116, closely followed by Sonnet 18.

Ben Johnson (same era) was also an amazing poet.. I love "song to Cilia" (I think that is the name of it anyway).

....I can understand it....

The Taming of the Shrew is my favorite. :inlove: A Midsummer Night's Dream is also really good, too...
