Shakespeare and King James

About three days a week, on average, I take the bus to work. One year ago today I started reading the complete works of Shakespeare and the King James version of the Bible on my commute. A few pages from each in the morning and evening. I'm about 15% through Shakespeare so at my current pace it will take me 5-6 more years to finish, about two years to finish the KJV.

I have finished Shakespeares Sonnets, As you like it, All's well that ends well, Antony and Cleopatra, A Comedy of Errors. Currently in The Tragedy of Coriolanus. In KJV I am at I Kings Chapter II, where King David is dying. The Bible is clearly more readable.
