Something about it just appeals to me. Years ago I bought a used anthology of great literature; one of those books that’s like 1,000 pages long and it had a variety of authors from around the world, during various periods. In it there were several plays included- Moliere, Chekov, and some more obscure authors like Luigi Pirandello, Bertolt Brecht, and George Buchner. I found I enjoyed them a lot. So now I try and find plays whenever I can to read. Plus they’re generally quick reads, and I like short stories a lot too, so that factors into it.
