I love Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, but I don't read the plays because they are not meant to be read. They are meant to be seen and heard. There are a bunch of BBC recordings of the plays being acted out, and/or find some quality audiobooks. Reading them takes away what makes them brilliant and timeless.
