Some more customer comments from Amazon.com, because I’m bored and for some reason I find this stuff amusing:

About King Lear, a reader from Washington, D.C., offers this sage advice: “Hey Shakespeare: Stick with one topic at a time. Nobody’s gonna think you’re smart just because you use big words and try to be complicated.” Oh, and death scenes are apparently a downer.

Richard III proves no less problematic. “Heres what i would say to Shakespear…” writes one dissatisfied reader from New Jersey, “Welcome to America Now speak english.” So that’s what that is!

Finally, about Julius Caeser, a reader from “Standed on an Island” says simply, “Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring boring.”

Well sure…with all those words

It looks like rain,

the way rain looks

when it hasn’t happened yet,

when it’s just waiting to happen,

thirsting for itself, hungry overhead.

I will be disappointed, I think,

if I don’t need my umbrella later on.
