I’m almost afraid to mention Shakespeare. There is a whole generation of readers out there, including my kids, who had Shakespeare in Love shoved down their throats in English class at highschool. They studied the movie and everything to do with Shakespeare for ten very long weeks, to the point where none of them now […]
