Where would you suggest one start with Shakespeare's comedies? I've read half of the tragedies but only The Merchant of Venice from the comedies--which others are must reads?

2. Salinger hasn't written another work since, and he's still alive, giving the work a mysterious legendary air. Let's be honest, our society loves a good story behind a work of art.

He wrote and published a few things after Catcher in the Rye and I think he's been writing since but not publishing, leaving his work for his children to publish (or not) after he dies. He just hates the celebrity.

There's some about it here: http://partners.nytimes.com/books/98/09/13/specials/salinger-speaks.html (though it's 35 years old), and a bit more on wikipedia.

Also, thanks for the recommendations, Brainworm.
