Tch, Tch!!!

"authors such as Dickens, Tolstoy, Shakespeare, and many others.""

How could you???!!

Shakespeare was a writer as no other - Dickens and Tolstoy pale beside him. (I suppose I had better admit that I do not like Charles D., nevertheless, not is Shakespeare's unique league by any means.)

Dickens' take on the human condition is skilled, amusing and insightful (though not to my taste) but Shakespeare's is omnipotent, masterful and towering.

I did actually want to make a few corrections to "Hamlet" - you know, put a few kangaroos at Elisnore - that sort of omission that Wagger-Dagger makes all too often. But one has to become a member to annotate texts apparently so I gave up. Pity I do think my "Hamlet 2003" would have been a significant improvement on the original. I mean, I could even have ridded Hamlet (himself) of all the terrible indecision he suffers from. What an improvement that would have been!

Interesting site thank you.

Now, as this is my 500th posting please don't upset me by telling me that I couldn't improve on Wagger-Dagger's works. Thank you!
