I love Shakespeare. When I was forced to read it in High School I didn't like it much but now that I'm older and I read it by choice, its fantastic. His wit, humour, art and insight into the human character are both fun to read and still relevant today.
I think the trick is to not try to read it as fast as a book written in modern English. Go slow. Also don't try to understand every single word or phrase, just get what you can out of it. Elizabethan English is a little different than modern English but you can mostly figure it out if you are patient and creative - its worth it!
P.S. - I don't feel the need to talk to him; as far as I'm concerned he's still alive and living through his incredible legacy of writings.

I claim to be the best writer in the world, by my standards.
Partly this is so, if true, because I studied Shakespeare's use of the arts of language for years, before I revived blank verse as an art form and then figured out most of his working methods as a dramatist.
His philosophy is Medieval--based in categorical character flaws--exactly like the nonsensical characters who populate public TV shows; but he developed his flawed central characters quite powerfully; and his imagery and language are varied, and deep by anyone's standards.
Most people think of him nowadays as "old fashioned". But what is new fashioned is low-grade and without much lasting worth. It takes a little getting used to before one can enjoy hearing his complex sentences spoken; I claim it's worth the effort.
The two questions I would like to ask the Poet who wrote works under the names "Shakespeare" are: "What's your biography, in brief--since you aren't the half-educated Will Shakspur of Stratford". And the second is, "How did you plan the image patterns/fonts/groups you drew on for the larger plays such as "Julius Caesar" or "Antony and Cleopatra".
Yes, I would always choose a great writer, Shakespeare for on, since they are actually easier to approach. They are like painters who can paint anything--not rocks and birds only, whose oceans and faces are no good; they have no real weaknesses. That makes it easier to write about aspects of someone so important and prolific and whose ideas are still relevant today.
