Shakespeare~Othello and any other works by him.

To me any work by Shakespeare is great to read.  I may not be able to undetrstand it the first time through, so I always try to read his work two to three times, to fully get all the meanings and hidden jabs.
Since I know he always tried to add something extra, not just what the words say.  I like to also read up to what others say about a pieces. 
From going through Shakespeare's works I like to see how another writer puts thier work, and if I could ever match his skill and mastery of the turn of a word.  I know as a modren writer, I could never been seen at his level.  I do not know many writers today who could. 
I will keep trying until I no longer write, to try to reach a point where I would be proud to show him my work.
