Introduction

If we're talking about just the plays alone, he's about 36 depending on who you talk to. A play a week will have you having read the entirety of his plays in less than a year. You want to get the individual plays in the ardent editions rather than the complete works in a big chunky one. For me I like to reread King Lear every single year, like Hemingway and I will spend weeks with King Lear.
