Shakespeare Reading Challenge 2011

shakesbutton



Yet another reading challenge for 2011 :) I am really excited about this one. I have been wanting to read and reread some of Shakespeare's plays for a while now, so this is perfect! The Shakespeare Reading Challenge is hosted by Elena and is hosted on its own webpage. Here are the details:





First off, the Levels:

1. Puck: Read 4 plays over the year, 1 of which may be replaced by a performance
2. Desdemona: Read 6 plays, 2 of which may be replaced by a performance
3. Henry V: Read 12 plays, 3 of which may be replaced by a performance

Now, the Rules:

1. All plays must be read between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011. Anything begun before that cannot be included.
2. Audio versions are also acceptable but all plays must be unabridged.
3. You don't need to list your plays ahead of time but you may, if you'd like.
4. Review pages for each month will be created but are optional.
---------------------------------------------------------


I will be updating my status here on this post. You can easily find it via the "Challenges" page tab at the top of this blog, or by clicking the Challenge Picture on the left hand side of this blog.


My Goal: Desdemona: Read 6 plays
My Progress:

I'm eager to see how you end up enjoying this challenge. I'm planning on a (I think bi-weekly) Shakespeare on Sunday feature over at A Hoyden's Look at Literature - covering plays, films, spin-offs and re-tellings. I really love the Bard and hope that others will see how multi-faceted and inspiring his work can be!

I haven't read Shakespere since highschool. Great idea for a challenge but not sure I can fit this one in. Good luck :)
