Hoping that this is the right forum for a language-related, but not specifically word-related question. How many of you guys (ayleurs, wordsmiths, nerds, dweebs, angels, powers, archangels, cherubim, seraphim, or others) actually enjoy reading Shakespeare? How many can only take him in modern day films (say Baz Luhrman's Shakespeare's Romero + Juliet)? How many think he is just irrelevant, and we should be focusing on the works of Maya Angelou and others, leaving him to the historians?

For what it's worth, and to save me answering my own post with another - I belong to the first category. The first time I read King Lear I was literally moved to tears.
