... 781 is a lot! Some of yours probably could be combined (Comedy of As You Like It is probably pretty much the same as As You Like It, for instance. But even so, you've got a lot of books no-one else on LT has... I finished Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and As You Like It for my final two categories.
Furthermore, I have started The Tempest and Moll Flanders for the same categories as well. (Plays) 3. As You Like It by William Shakespeare
Next:
The Tempest ... First Men in the Moon, Dead Cert, Bonecrack, They did it with Mirrors, Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul,Othello, As You Like It, The Taming of the Shrew and Short Stoies by Ernest Hemmingway. Finished Othello. My next Shakespeare will be As You Like It and my next Dailylit book will be Sherlock Holmes.
The Quickie is progressing nicely. I should have it finished tonight or tomorrow. Then I will push the focus back onto the Case for Christ, followed by The Secret Life of Bee ... Thanks for the suggestion ReneeMarie. I am trying to read some of the plays that I have never read before. I have read As you like it, and thouroughly enjoyed it. Hopefully once my kids start back to school next week I can start some more serious reading again. If you change your mind about any of the titles in your Shakespeare category, may I recommend As You Like It as a replacement? It's my absolute favorite of the plays: a wicked uncle, cross-dressing female, misplaced/unrequited love, etc. In case you're not familiar with it, it also happens to be ... ... Glad to hear you liked it better than Kitchen Confidential.
From Estate/Garage sales:
An 1897 edition of Shakespeare's As You Like It. I couldn't resist because the title page has the original owner's name and '01 in beautiful script. Also, it was only $1 so I made it mine.

Agggghhhh....that's gonna drive me crazy.... It's totally Shakespeare and I can't remember which play....
As You Like It perhaps?
Or maybe The Tempest?
I'm grasping at straws here... someone else probably knows for sure.... ... understand that at the gut level.
I would never dream of teaching Love's Labour's Lost--and I've had a hard time with As You Like It as well. And while students generally understand Measure for Measure, they get angry at Isabella for choosing to save her virginity rather than her ... ... "crush." Let's see, some favorite female characters of mine . . . Valancy Sterling from The Blue Castle. Rosalind from As You Like It. Aerin from The Hero and the Crown. I'm sure I could think of more! ... more plays in The Letterpress Shakespeare series. They are The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and As You Like It.
I wonder what the long term plan is for the plays? Are they going to do the "Four Great Tragedies" and then the Great ______? Or all 39 plays they have ... ... Tale

As for great stagings, Goodman did a production of As You Like It a number of years ago that was set in the post-Civil War American frontier. It worked astoundingly well.
And I am a great admirer of Ian McKellan's film ... ... philosophy of evolution, then Darwin's Dangerous Idea is a fairly substantial volume, but it starts from the ground up. Almost Like a Whale (for some reason it comes up as Darwin's ghost : The origin of species updated) is a re-write of The Origin of Species, which uses modern day ... ... - and I never felt "forced" to read what was on the curriculum, even when I didn't understand/enjoy it. Shakespeare's As You Like It is a case in point. We had already studied The Merchant of Venice at O Grade level, then Macbeth at Higher, and I loved both of these, but for some ... ... will. And since would be foolish to claim that you own The complete works of Shakespeare just because you have As you Like it. you should keep individual volumes seperate from collections.
