The best things said about it
Well if we didn't have the first folio given that all the manuscript versions of the place are lost we wouldn't have Place such as the Tempest or 12th night or a Winter's Tale or Julius cesa or anti Cleopatra or MC Beth.
That part of the book is really special because you reminded me.

Jay Shetty On Purpose with Jay Shetty · Jun 2023 Why people recommend it
Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare is a classic romantic comedy exploring themes of mistaken identity, unrequited love, and the complexities of human emotion. Jay Shetty recommended reading related literary works on On Purpose with Jay Shetty to explore deep generational lessons, though much of the episode's discussion centered on Chris Paul's athletic career, work ethic, and memoir Can't Give Up Now rather than the Shakespearean play itself. In a separate context, Adrian Edwards discussed Twelfth Night on The Book Review as one of the significant theatrical works preserved primarily through the publication of Shakespeare's First Folio, given that the original manuscript versions of the plays were lost over time. Scholars and literary commentators frequently highlight the enduring cultural and historical importance of the First Folio in ensuring that comedies like Twelfth Night survived for modern audiences and theatrical productions to enjoy.

“It's called 'Can't Give Up Now' because, like I said in the book, I grew up in church. I was in church four or five days a week, and I remember listening to that song and getting emotional, and it was like, look, the trade didn't happen, ESPN, everybody talking about it or whatnot.”
