i was fortunate enough to have a great highschool AP English teacher, who assigned us Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead after we finished Hamlet. reading Stoppard's work then lead me to read Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, which fully brought me into fold of existentialism...the result is the bitter man i am today - so thanks to Stoppard and my highschool English teacher! heh.
