Other than that, the most interesting thing about me as a Shakespeare fan is probably that I don't actually like Hamlet all that much.

I like Othello far better than Hamlet. While I can appreciate the latter as a good piece of theatre, if I had the choice between seeing it and seeing Othello or Richard III, I'd probably take either of the other two. Part of that may well be from overexposure as well--we academics are somewhat trained to view Hamlet as the pinnacle of literature.
