Romeo and Juliet (William Shakespeare, early 1590s)

Read this on Kindle without notes; then read Harold Bloom's helpful musings in Shakespeare - The Invention of the Human.  

I much enjoyed reading this (after all these years) but would not say it's my Shakespeare favorite.  The characters tend to get way too fired up; too ready to fight.  

There are some beautiful lines, of course.

Friar Laurence gets way involved.

Nice.
