Amazing titles, classics never disappoint!
Many of them are also on my reading challenge list and I am currently reading Coriolanus (after watching Ralph Fiennes' version and hating it!). Thanks for visiting my blog ;)
I'll be interested to hear what you have to say about Coriolanus. The Fiennes film version looks rather bloody.
And thanks for visiting my blog as well!
