In 2020 I realized that I had only read 14 of Shakespeare's recognized 38 plays, so I set the goal of reading the other 24 plays by the end of 2022.
A couple of days ago I finished Coriolanus, and today I finished Measure for Measure, the last two of the unread plays.
There are two other plays on which scholars say he collaborated - Cardenio and Sir Thomas More - but they are not part of the official list. I will likely read them at some point.
But for now I can savor a reading goal met!
As for the last two plays, I didn't really like either. I can see why they are not regularly staged, and are not highly regarded by critics and scholars.
