I read all of Shakespeare's sonnets, as well as sundry other works. I am taking requests!

"What does your username mean?" you ask? Well, go read "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde (or watch the excellent movie adaptation with Colin Firth, Reese Witherspoon and Rupert Everett) and you'll find out. No, I'm not going to tell you.

Hi Madeline,

How've you been? I hope you're not working too hard! I'm looking forward to some new poetry from you this summer.

Take care,

Tom

Hi Madeline!
I watched some of your videos by chance some weeks ago..
I was amased from the way that you are reading and from your passion for reading sonnets!
I liked your videos!
Anyway, I just admire and recognise what you do that's all!
Nice job!
Have a nice time always, Bye!
