Please tell me I'm not the first English major to find Shakespeare boring as hell. Although, I am tempted to get "O wonderful, when devils tell the truth!" tattooed somewhere.

It's odd – I know how important he is, how good he is, et cetera. The plays I've seen have been great, but when I sit down to read it, my brain just turns off, refuses to process the words. Like a kid told he can't leave the table until he eats his peas, my brain gets stubborn and just stares at it, refusing to eat.

Reading him is hard. I used to get into the same kind of brain freeze. Reading him aloud made it better. And sometimes sillier.
