    Meanwhile I could read more quickly and clearly than everyone while adding the right inflection and differentiating characters voices.

    I thought that would make me stand out and be popular, but the other kids apparently saw it as alien.

      In 12th grade we read Hamlet out loud as a class. The guy who got picked to be Hamlet didn’t understand that it was supposed to be read as a play.

      So he read every line

      Like this, because that’s how it

      Was printed in the book.

      It was awful. So when the teacher said we were doing the same thing with Macbeth I immediately volunteered to be Macbeth because I couldn’t handle anyone else doing it.

        Holup. Hamlet is the type of town, right? Not a guy’s name?

        Also yeah that’s hilarious!
