Why I Want To Read Shakespeare

I was not convinced by Mr. Mack that I should read more Shakespeare. I Felt as all of his comparisons have fallen short of what they could be. Also he made reference to professionals which I am not apart of. He could have been better. I might read it, but I do not know if it is my thing based off what he said, and here is why.

I’m just a normal guy, and the simple pleasures are good enough for me.” He knows how we feel yet doesn't make a strong connection with us on why we should read
