Between now and March 1, 2016 (the day before my 40th birthday) I have the following plays left to read if I want to achieve my goal of completing all of Shakespeare's plays before I turn 40.

This plan was an idea I came up with when I was 12 and, let me tell you, 12-year-old me is a demanding task master. Unfortunately, 22-year-old through to 38-year-old mes were all pretty big procrastinators, so I'm well behind schedule.
Can I do it? Well, since it's the only childhood life goal I ever set for myself that I'm even attempting (I'm not, for instance, a fashion designing nun who can fly somehow), I think I owe it to child me to at least give it a go.
