Yes, the complete works of Shakespeare are collected in one volumeand has been published and republished by different publishers over the centuries. It is not really as long as you would expect. Interestingly enough, I was never assigned Heart of Darkness in any classroom. I read it for the first time a couple of years ago. When I registered for Bookshare I had to bide my time while I waited to be approved and so I looked over the public domain books for something to try out. I ended up picking out Heart of Darkness and it was my first Bookshare book.

Now, I'll have to actually count...I stopped after 20 (my occasional competitive streak comes out).I'm impressed by how eclectic and recent some items on this list are (Rowlings, Tolkien, Douglas Adams, Khaled Hosseini, Dan Brown, Magaret Atwood, Frank Herbert, Salman Rushde, Iain Banks, Roald Dahl and many more I wouldn't expect). I didn't read a single Harry Potter because we had a radio show by a woman who read children's books (and did voices and all) who did the first four books. The one I was assigned in high school that I never got through was Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.Does the "no plays on bookshare" extend to public domain like Shakespeare? And is there really a single volume called the Complete Works of Shakespeare? That would make reading War and Peace child's play by comparison.Misha On 11/20/2010 4:06 PM, Judy s. wrote:Nobody beat me up, but to my shock I've read 69 of them...That either says that I'm way older than most of you and have had more time to read, or that my incredibly anal high school and college English teachers were right on which books we had to read for their classes. grin.Judy s.
