So I realized I don't need to do quite as much reading as I originally suspected. (Thank goodness!) As a result, specificity might do me some good. The other plays by Shakespeare I wish to read this semester, in addition to Hamlet, are Twelfth Night, Richard the Third, King Lear, Macbeth, and the Tempest.
So there's some clarification. Mostly for my own benefit so I don't bite off more than I can chew...
