What's the source of "Methinks the lady doth protest too much"?
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Always Anti-fascist!
Gonna guess "Macbeth" or "othello" Somebody smarter will probably get it before me.(smacks forehead) Of course, and I *know* Hamlet.(Not like I want to date Judith, but...) I'm just a hoople.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Speaking of, I'm looking to begin assembling a Shakespeare library, but I don't know what edition to get. I'm looking for something with individual plays, rather than the Big Book O' Shakespeare approach. Some degree of annotation, mostly of the "here's what this word means" sort.
Does anyone have a favorite that they'd recommend?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I love my Riverside for its essays and annotation, but it is one big Book O'Shakespeare.

Dog is my co-pilot.
The Arden, The Everyman, and The Washington Square Press all have decent annotation for individual plays. The Everyman and WSP have annotation on the left page with the text on the right, which I find handy. I do love the Riverside for the complete works.
