Can we have a George Bernard Shaw thread?

What do you guys think of his work?

He's too liberal for me

Agate's says "Shaw's plays are the price we pay for Shaw's prefaces"

Finished Major Barbara today. Really good play, witty, funny, great characters.

Interplay between Undershaft and Adolphus was a pleasure to read, would love to see it live.

Wasn't this the faggot who wrote about how we should justify our right to live and called Esther from Bleak House a sanctimonious hypocrite?

Seems like he would be a good archenemy of Dickens.
