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.

Here there grad student - love the work you're doing. I'll trade you a whole cartoon of Ramen Noodles for a reading of some dark German poetry, perhaps Goethe, Schiller or even Rainer Maria Rilke. How 'bout it?
