Please, give me a break!  No library is complete without something from the Bard.While in a book review club one young lady said, "Shakespeare is so trite!"  Others had to pound me on the back to keep me from laughing to death.  So much of our every day language is based on things that Bill said, so much that many erroneously think that some of the sayings come from the Bible.As the moderator of the group, I asked her what she meant (although I knew what she meant) and she brought up so many of the quotes from Shakespeare that, to her, were "trite."  When we explained that HE was the one who originally said those things, she just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Oh" and left it at that.Lest anyone get the wrong idea, I HATE Shakespeare!  I APPRECIATE him, I understand him, but I don't like reading him, know what I mean?  He was shoved down my throat in high school and it was very poorly presented.  What it had to do with modern English was beyond me; I write a lot and wanted to improve my writing and verily saith I unto thee[[ASIN:B004OEIELA THE COMPLETE PLAYS OF SHAKESPEARE (Special Kindle Illustrated and Commented Edition) All of William Shakespeare's Unabridged Plays AND Yale Critical Analysis ... (The Complete Works of Shakespeare) that perchance I wrote as doeth Shakespeare, nobody would read what I wrote.As Lincoln once said, "Somada, somada, somada allada, but allada allada?  Uh huh."
