Recs if you like The Merchant of Venice...

A collection of books that are banned or challenged. Dive into these controversial works and explore what has been pushed for you to not discover.

Just personally wanted a compilation of all plays for ease of access, even those with debatable authorship. Hopefully should appear chronologically from ascending to descending.

Books where avarice is a central theme.

Books shown or referenced in the tv show Buffy The Vampire Slayer - not including thematic references only direct references or books shown on screen.

Something compelling to make you think

All the stories from the bard and stories that he inspired- I definitely need recommendations for this one!!

A list dedicated to the life, works, and study of William Shakespeare. Includes many of the books featured on Shakespeare Unlimited, the podcast produced by the Folger Shakespeare Library.

"if we were villains" is one of my favourite books and i like to go back to it every year but while reading it as it is is very enjoyable, i thought about compiling a list of other books mentioned/used in iwwv (or just the ones i think could add to your experience), mostly Shakespeare's plays so the next time i read it i can be fully prepared to feel devastated<3 if i forgot about anything, let me know enjoy!

Ever wondered what books of your nation are taught in other countries? Well, I always do. This is what we study in English literature (by any English speaking country) here in Italian highschools.

I only study English, so I can only do it for this language. If any Italian highschooler wants to add books mentioned by their text that I didn't have, or books their teachers made them study in class, they are welcome to do so.

Hope someone is interested.

you might have read some of these if you were in grade 7-12 in the 2000s. (obviously this will vary wildly based on where you grew up)

I started this list noticing a common titular pattern in some of my favourite books… and now that I’ve started digging this hole I can’t stop. There’s SO MANY. Please send more suggestions in the comments. Thanks for digging this hole with me 🙂‍↕️🪏

Shakespeare’s comedies, comedies about Shakespeare, and retellings.

this are books mentioned in the film Se7en

Because if I can’t have my library full of Teyvat’s books, I may as well fill it with the inspiration.
