I am team King Lear. My absolute favorite Shakespeare.
king lear is a good one as well. great story.

and the slate story...how sad. we played all those games, tag, etc, and everyone made it just fine...

of course, we also played dirt clod wars. not sure how we didn't make trips to the e.r. for that one.

"Fiction" is a category of writing.
"Literature" is an opinion about certain works of Fiction.

"I didn't find any literary value" - so who asked you?

Maybe next they can redo the Scopes monkey trial for a remake of Inherit the Wind...
