I never read any Shakesphere, I can't make much sense of it, though I'll probably have to read it someday... well, anyway, the first time I started reading FotR it reminded me of some of the parts of Shakesphere that I happened to know about because of the language. Before LOTR, I never really read any books who's language confused me a bit, and I was immediately reminded of Shaksphere.
