<<Not having Shakespeare mandatory for English majors would be a travesty. They would
never be able to evaluate literature with the same competency as someone who had
studied Shakespeare. The Bible is the most alluded to work in Western literature, but
after that I bet comes the collected oeuvre of Shakespeare.>>

Oh, no, Shakespeare AND the Bible, my two least favorites. No wonder I like modern literature--understanding dusty tomes is quite tedious without a grounding in these. Evalutating literature is not what I studied English for, though; I think that makes it all a bit dreary. But I know I am expressing a minority opinion.

"What Dreams May Come" is a recent movie, as I recall, X, but what was it about? Was it good? It sounds vaguely familiar. Was it the one with Drew Barrymore and Angelica Huston? Doesn't Cinderella predate the Bard, in any case?
