I talked to some German guy on my course a couple days ago who claimed to have read the complete works of Shakespeare. I asked him what his favourite play was, he answered “Hamlet, of course,” and then intoned “Sein oder Nichtsein, das ist hier die Frage”.

Crazy how this happened a couple days ago despite that we have this exact thread down to the quotation every few weeks

Shakespeare is not for "reading".
They are scripts for live shows.
