never thought shakespeare would be able to make me laugh. or maybe it’s just my sense of humour that is terribly low

Compared to reading the text alone, it was more interesting to consider this play in terms of Shakespeare's overall canon. In my opinion, this work wasn't as strong as some of the other Shakespeare that I've read; Rosalind is a standout character though. As a minor note, I'd still really like to know where the title "As You Like It" comes from.
