Dune Messiah is the second book in the Dune series written by Frank Herbert. I am a
big fan of the first Dune because of its huge sci-fi scope mixed in with politics and religion that
can be seen in the world today as well. The dialogue was amazing too, and it felt like everything
that the characters said could be interpreted in a deeper level. I love that book and I don’t think

Much Ado About Nothing is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare. It’s a story
about how love makes us do ridiculous things and this is a topic that Shakespeare revisits in his
later plays. Much Ado About Nothing is about how a young man from war falls in love with a
nobleman’s daughter, which is the complete opposite of his friend’s annoyance with the

Antony and Cleopatra is a play written by William Shakespeare, and is a continuation
of Mark Antony’s story from Julius Caesar, though it isn’t necessary to read the former.
However, a theme of continuation from the first play into the second play is that there is no
good or bad in the world, or rather, there is no certainly that good will always remain good. This

Julius Caesar is a tragedy by William Shakespeare and is personally one of my favorite
works from him. It’s about Roman general Julius Caesar, a very strong and brilliant, if not
arrogant, man who is ultimately assassinated by a couple Romans after they learn that he
would become the emperor of Rome. This launches Rome into an all-out Civil War. I love this
book because it shows that there is no clear right or wrong in this world. Shakespeare is careful

As You Like It is a comedy written by William Shakespeare, and it proves that William
Shakespeare was one of the most meta writers of his time. The story revolves around Rosalind,
who is a young and beautiful woman who lives with her cousin and uncle because her father,
Duke Senior, was banished to the forest. She’s best friends with her cousin, Celia, but her uncle,
Duke Frederick, is less than fond of her because he thinks she’s stealing the attention from his

Twelfth Night is a play by Shakespeare and is unique because of how it comments
about gender roles in an era where it was unusual. The story is about a young woman who
disguises herself as a man to get a job after getting shipwrecked (and she ends up thinking she
loses her brother, even though he survives) and gets caught in the romance of two aristocrats
while also having to deal with romantic problems herself. A writer with this kind of story would
