These comics from Wrong Handsreally cater to the bookworms and lovers of literature. The artist, John Atkinson of Ottawa, Ontarios, has a real knack for poking fun at literary masters and readers alike. It's nice to see our love of the written word so beautifully wedded to amusing comics. If you like what you see, give Atkinson's feed a follow and check out his book.

Here's a weird tidbit of history for you: today is the anniversary of William Shakespeare's death back in 1616. He was also born on April 26, so that's kind of weird, but okay. Anyway, in honor of the occasion, we've compiled 16 silly Shakespeare-related tidbits for the literary nerds (or really, anyone who was forced to read Hamlet in their high school AP English class).
It can get old really fast hearing the same pop songs over and over on the radio. That's why we really appreciate geniuses like Shakespeare Lyrics, a Twitter account dedicated to translatingpop songs into Shakespearean slang for the cultured and classy. We're sad to report that this Twitter account no longer exists, unfortunately. It's a tragedy, really.
Ask and you shall receive. Our last collection of sonnets from Pop Sonnets was a huge hit, so we're back with more geeky Shakespearean goodness. This iambic pentameter is off the chain.
