I Don't Usually Like Short Stories...Or Poetry...Or Theatre

The title says it all- I'm not a huge fan of short stories, poetry, or theatre. I don't hate any of them, they're just not exactly my cup of tea. If they're done right, I love them all. 

Here are just a couple of notes about the very few bits of each I do like...

Favorite Short Stories-

The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe

The Lottery by Shirley Jackson

Favorite Poem-

The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

Favorite Plays-

There are several films I love/enjoy that are indeed based on plays, so this list is only going off of plays that I've read as plays or seen on stage. Romeo & Juliet is the only one that's going to get a repeat later when I analyze Franco Zeffirelli's film version and when I slam Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet.

Macbeth by William Shakespeare

Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare

A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

A Raisin In the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry

The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie
