I'm fond of The Merchant of Venice myself, partially because of the extreme characters, partially because it could be considered one of Shakespeare's most controversial works (I do love a good controversy), and partially because it contains my favorite speech, located in Act 3 Scene 1, lines 52-72 (at least the numbers are correct in my version.)
The only negative aspect is, in text, Morocco is very long-winded. I haven't seen the play so I don't know if he appears that way in sight.
I'm curious because I'm reading Antony and Cleopatra now and am wondering what your favorites were, as a third one to read afterwards. I was thinking of Hamlet next, but I've always wanted A Midsummer's Night Dream... So, please, tell me your favorite!
