38 by 30

My college English professor once said "Everyone should read all of Shakespeare by the age of 30." A person like me takes this sort of comment to be hard deadline, maybe so that I can still sneak it in at the last minute and feel ok. Here's a look at my progress so far.

This is just what I remember, and it totals out to 24 of the 38, leaving 14 plays left to read. I'll make a quick schedule now.

If I went at the pace of a play a week I'd be done by the end of September with time to spare. Realistically I should finish sooner, but probably won't. I guess I'll start in and see what happens.
