What is your (current) favorite sonnet in his collection? Have you memorized a sonnet or two? What was the last one you read?

Sonnet for this thread:
>Sonnet 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

For me, it's 73:
>That time of year thou mayst in me behold
>When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
>Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
>Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
>In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
>As after sunset fadeth in the west,
>Which by and by black night doth take away,
>Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
>In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
>That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
>As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
>Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
>This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
>To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

I hope you guys are reading this in Original Pronunciation. Otherwise, it's a bit worthless.
