Just finished Hamlet, and read Romeo & Juliet before that. I loved both, they were my first two Shakespeares. What would you recommend?

Richard II, Henry 4th part1&2, Henry 5th

Pretty much all of it will get recommended at one point or another in this thread, except for his adaptations of Greek stories which suck

Macbeth! Also, Timon of Athens is fun.

I also think Macbeth would be the best one to read next.

Julius Caesar pairs nicely with Hamlet.

No, no, no, no, no, NO!

Taming of the shrew is the correct one for OP

Have some unorthodox suggestions:
The Comedy of Errors. Fat mama jokes and exquisite starting monologue.
Troilus and Cressida. Premiere Comedy slash Drama, that no theatre today understands.
Richard II. For if angels fight, weak man must fall.
Coriolanus. Properly pronounced anus. Halfway through you'll stop being amused by it, and become conservative.
A Midsummer Night's Dream. Fantasy starts here.
