Have you been reading A Midsummer NIght's Dream yet?

We hope so. After all, it's only 18 more days until the discussion. Also, we hope you've been reading on account of a couple of activities we have lined up, the first of which is the creative Shakespearean insult that started yesterday and will run until Sunday. (Thanks to Shani, Joko, and G Higuain of Shelfari who've shared their Shakespearean insults so far.)

If you haven't started reading yet, here are a couple of things that might help get you started:

• A one-page synopsis of A Midsummer Night's Dream - in case you need to familiarize yourself with the story first.
• No Fear Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream - has the original text AND a modern "translation" side by side, brought to us by the wonderful folk at SparkNotes. No Fear Shakespeare is a good friend to many a high school student required to take up Shakespeare.:)
• The trailer of the 1999 movie adaptation of the play - with Rupert Everett, Christian Bale, Michelle Pfeiffer, Calista Flockhart, and Kevin Kline, among others. We'll be sharing the entire movie with you soon, so watch out for that. 

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy reading the book!
