Treasures of Life

I have read tons of literature and poetry and I personally don’t think anyone comes close to Shakespeare. I think the man was brilliant with his writing and his expression of love, romance, hatred etc through his writing is simply perfect. Till date, if I’m trying to quote something awfully romantic or flattering, I look up this book I have with various love sayings by Shakespeare. I believe, nobody has ever learnt the art of love writing, the way Shakespeare did, I continue to remain wooed by Shakespeare’s plays, novels and poetry. I can spend hours reading anything written by him.

I was just fourteen when my mom and dad gifted me with the works of Shakespeare and this little book that has various love sayings recorded by him. I still have a huge collection of Shakespeare’s books and I have read those, umpteen times. Lucky for me, I fell in love with a man who is equally fond of Shakespeare, together, the two of us have almost all the works of Shakespeare covered. We have a library filled with his stuff and we are looking forward to our kids reading these books someday. While I read bed time stories to my kids, I can’t wait for the days when I can discuss Shakespeare with them. Infact, my six year old daughter has heard me talk about Shakespeare so very often that one day while I was driving her to school, she asked me, Mommy, was Shakespeare your very first boy friend?
