I'm looking to buy a one-volume collection of Shakespeare's complete works. Pelican's looks nice to me, but I'd like to weigh a few options. Which would you suggest and why? My only firm requirements are that it have good notes and that it not fall apart with frequent use.

I like the Victorians. First it was Oscar Wilde and that put Ruskin on my radar. Then I came around to Carlyle who is the source (and his source was Germany). The 19th century as we know it does not exist without Carlyle who begat Ruskin (and thus Morris) and Emerson (and thus Thoreau and all of subsequent American literature). All of this is highly unfashionable these days so it feels like my little secret, these friends of mine. I reckon they'll come back around soon, they'll have to at some point. There's too much to be forgotten.

How can God be born? How can a mortal give birth to divinity?

Why is it that midwits are atheist, while all of the most intelligent people are religious (and usually Catholic or Orthodox Christian)?

For midwits, see: Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking (retarded philosophically and achieved nothing of note in science despite his reputation), Sam Harris, Nietzsche (no, his philosophy was bullshit and predicated on bullshit), Schopenhauer
For intelligent people, see: Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Shakespeare, Kant, Hegel, Oscar Wilde, Guenon, G. K. Chesterton, the list goes on

It's not any harm to you if I drink myself to death, it's harm to me. But I wish it was harm to you.

A perfect blend of tranquility and eroticism.
