Well, why bother doing it in the first place? LANGUAGES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.

Oh come on, you can't expect the man to invent an actual new language, that's reserved for REALLY NERDY things like Star Trek :P

Hey the new movie wasn't too nerdy.

The new movie was awesome.

'Nuff said.

I agree, and no I don't like his writing. It is terrible (I am not saying I could do better as I can't but then again I'm not a best selling author.) and to be honest I don't think the story makes up for his lack of writing ability but they are readable and a distraction so good luck to him as a writer and I really hope he improves because as from what I have seen and heard he is a pretty nice down to earth fella

Unless I got the wrong Twitter page or whatever, I can only recognise R&J and Macbeth. I can't identify the rest. Sorry for any confusion.

I found that site too, that's all that's there. The impression I got was that the rest are in a published book.

ah it's not a group of twitter pages that I'm reading it's a physical book. It's made to look like a penguin classic.

Ohhhhh. Brain fart. That sounds cool, though judging by the twitter preview, it'll be wasted on clueless classic readers like me.
