Books: A Shakespeare sonnet

Stephen Fry reading Sonnet 130 'My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun' from Touch Press on Vimeo.


This is via Open Culture, and is just one of the sonnets, as read by famous folk in a new iPad app. I'm with the Open Culture poster myself. I'd like Stephen Fry to read everything, all the time. I am on record as believing that his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is among the best audiobook reads of all time, and I curse creation that I can't get my hands on his Harry Potter (although, let's face it, Jim Dale is nothing to sneeze at). I also curse creation that Fry hasn't done the other Adams books. Come on, people. Get it together. I have a long commute. I need those books!
