Her Beauty explains.
You are a queen of beauty, perfect in every way; no man can pass by you without his head turning back. She is spectacular, a beautiful girl, with long, wavy hair. There is absolutely no blemish from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. There is definitely an extra work done in her body. Her beauty has stolen the heart gentlemen, even when ladies pass by, they commend, how beautiful is her face, and how gorgeous is her look. Her arm and hands are splendidly slender, like the robots of Silicon Valley. Her eyes are so beautiful, commanding men to come, making handsome men to stumble, with extremely beautiful double eye lids. Her body is so flexible like a bamboo, girls are dreaming, this is how I want to be. Her nail polished in brown sugar and the tail end like Swiss cream. She is pretty, what a beauty, her gently smile is fabulous, her laugh is kind of heavenly. I watched her surreptitiously as she walk in styles of an awesome steps; she is an empire of beauty and a sapphire of attraction. I also move closely to gaze, I was kind of scared of gaze abuse but I did get close to survey her true beauty. Her chicks succulent like the best of silk of moth caterpillars. Her face is gorgeous and her sharp nose is awesomely pointed like the slope of Olivet hill of Israel. No one else look like her, pretty lady, no face can be compare to hers. In her bikini, her butt is like the second half of a green calabash on the vine, it is beautiful, like a semi-circle, the other half in the mind of gentlemen, Her teeth are complete, set perfectly right, whiter than snow. Her lips like a gummy bear of the candy shop, her tongue like a gentle river that is not flowing. Never have I seen a beauty like this before in my entire life. Your graceful ear like a golden pendant of Milan, Italy, You are a real beauty, attractive in nature and complete in beauty. Your outstanding shape I desire, your hips I admire, her twin breasts are moderate, perfect in size like big orange of Florida, looking peacefully, laying joyfully on her chest, soft like jelly. There is peace in her breast and harmony on her nipple I imagine, yes pretty sure. Her beauty is making men to die alive, loosing their mind, excuse me, her beauty is truly amazing. Standing out between her head and frame, is her neck like a beautiful ceramic vase of China. She is not too light, neither too dark, she is like a brown sugar of America, pretty lady. The whole world is like a garden and she is the prettiest flower on it. Her solders standing straight and firm like the twin Baobab tree of Madagascar, uniting together in love, beautiful indeed. You look so lovely and beautiful, she can't offend me, I will give her my overflowing pardon, just for gazing at her. When she speaks, her voice is like a sea wave bubble; speak to me one more time. Your eyes are like sun set on the Boulevard of the stars, looking sharp. Men kept on talking about the wonders of her beauty. Her feature declares the perfection of her awesome look. Her face announces what true beauty is all about, looking charm and modest. She is so lovely, and comely, very lovely and beyond comely. Her wavy hair tosses magnificently, silky and curly, shinning like mid day sun. Her legs are beautiful and sexy and straight, too beautiful to describe, too awesome to commend. There are legs but hers legs standout and it’s outstandingly long. She is prim and proper, She appear like a blaze and walk majestically like an angel from heaven, an extreme step I can’t explain, walk it, and walk it like they do in the heavenly. It is as if her beautiful feet never touch the ground. She is beautiful in every understanding and wisdom; she is the analytical example of a beauty. She is like the red rose of summer and standing tall like the tower of England. Among gemstones is the rare and most expensive Alexandrite, but her beauty is costlier than many expensive gemstones combined. When she looks at me I loose my balance. Her hips are extra- ordinarily impeccable, like the woven basket of Sonora Mexico, I desire her hips. Her body perfume, too much to describe but more fragrance and even smells better than perfume of Paris. Her dress is magnificent and colorless like the sea of Jamaica, with lace edges like the rainbow in the sky, my God. If you are the last I saw before going to bed, my dream shall be sweet. I can’t blame her for flaunting; no one knows the secret of her beauty. Only in this world you will find a beauty like this, she has made the world to be outstanding in their understanding of beauty. I commend and compliment, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and she said God is the only beauty maker in heaven and the earth, there is none like Him, and to God be the glory.

Hi,
My name is Danica. I am 19years old and have just recently re-started my love for all books classic! You can even say I love it better than the sci-fi books that my little sister is so deeply in love with. She's always keen to buy books about vampires, werewolves but I tend to stick to the old classics.
I am currently just starting i'm ashamed to say though. My collection of Penguin classics, despite them not being the original books, are quite interesting at very least. I love each and every one of them and you can always find me at the book shops buying every single one I could find. Long story short, I want to own my own books so I can read them over and over and over again without having to worry about return dates.
Anyways, I was born in Samoa but now currently living in Canberra, Australia. I love reading but have never had the time to actually just pick up a book and just enjoy it but is very grateful for the past few months of serenity in my life. Not only that, I am in love with music. As back on the home islands we grow up surrounded by music, I so too am growing up with music in my blood. If I am not busy with what life has to throw at me, I'm either reading or just jamming on my acoustic with the family and just enjoying the day. I love to write, just about anything that come to my mind if I have a piece of paper or am on the laptop I just write down anything and everything.
And for the finale, I just had come across this site after reading Thomas More's Utopia and trying to find a place to talk about it on Google! I saw this link so thought might as well and as it has turned out, it has become my favorite visited place today (:
So, you'll all see some posts from me in the future.
And that's me,
Danica (:

Hi folks
Im looking for a fantasy novel I read years ago...but cannot recall the title. It had an alternate fantasy world that the hero (young man) accessed via a seemly empty house with a guardian - a dancer who grew emensely fat and then was reborn but couldnt escape. she had done some something to end up with such a fate. the book had all sorts of elements - 3 witches who taught him his powers - he is some kind of master magician (Sidhe?) and there are quests in this other world- eventually the magical inhabitants start to cross over into our world. I now have lots of odd recollections...he had red hair and discovered he couldnt eat meat once he took on his powers! I apologise for this very scatter brained description. if any one can recall such a book I would be THRILLED!
Saying hi to all the newbies & of course to my fellow site members/writers as well...Stay strong & be encouraged...God Bless...

I am searching for an answer concerning Daniel DeFoe's Robinson Crusoe.
There is an island 400 miles off the coast of Chile that is advertised
as the place where Alejandro Selkirk was stranded. This is said to be
Robinson Crusoe's Island. But, Robinson Crusoe was stranded off the
coast of Venzuela. Why is this never noted? Has no one read Robinson
Crusoe?
Hello everybody,
I am Bessie . It's good that we are getting so numerous new forum associates who part with us their treasured aspects. There should be a point to introduce yourself.
Hello, I'm a 14 year old from Manchester who usually says I'll do my homework, when, in fact I'm reading George Orwell's 1984 or reading I Capture the Castle. From this website I'm hoping to learn about new, books that I haven't read to death yet and learn other peoples opinions on those I have. I'm a huge indie-rock music lover and English Literature/Language and Art being my strong points.
:hat: oh by the way I love Dr. Suess
HI, I'm a fourteen year old girl from Manchester that spends a lot of my time reflecting her dreams and whims. You would most likely find me reading George Orwell's 1984 and I Capture the Castle. I am a huge indie music lover as well as 'budding' artist. From this website I am hoping to find out about books I haven't read to death and hear other thoughts of those books that I have.
:hat: oh and by the way, I love Dr Suess.
Welcom, everyone!
I'm sorry I just copy/pasted this, but I'm not quite sure where I should post this. So here goes.
My name's Elske, I'm from Holland, though I'll be moving to the UK in two months. I'm an English student and I love the written art in all sorts and shapes.
I've just finished reading One Day by David Nicholls and I loved it. I tend to think about novels for ages after having read them and so I decided to sign up here so I can discuss my love for novels instead of bottling it up.
I hope I'll have a good time here!
Hello, my name is Chris, I am an avid reader and lover of critical approaches to literary texts. I have a deep interest in the Victorian Era and an exempla for the contradictory elements of Victorian life from Rapid progress and Nostalgia to political freedom and social constraint. I can't say I have a favorite piece of Literature, but if I had to give a definitive answer it would probably be Hamlet. I also like Virginia Woolf, who is my favorite writer, other stuff in Literature would be World Anglophone, African Diaspora, 20th century drama and Romanticism. I am working on a set of short-stories too. I am glad to be here.

Hello everyone. It's been quite a while since I introduced myself, before my book was published; so I thought I would just pop on here again and tell a little bit about myself. My name is Aileen Stewart and I am the children's author of Fern Valley - A Collection of Short Stories written for kids 8-12. You can find me almost anywhere, Face Book, Twitter, Goodreads, Shelfari, Google+, and on my website Fun For Kids. I am currently working on a sequel to Fern Valley and a few other projects. Have questions about writing? Just find me on one of the aforementioned sites and we'll have a chat ;)
Hullo, all. Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire here.
I am here to dwell with others who love Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, poetry and H. P. Lovecraft. I write weird fiction exclusively as W. H. Pugmire. Last year I became obsess'd with the idea of my death and frantically wrote a bunch of new stuff and assembled various collections. As a result I will have had four books published this year -- insane, since the volumes will have to compete with each other in this age of economic woe. Those who criticize my work usually condemn it as antique and Victorian in tone. I contend that I am striving to write in the voice of High Literature, which is Timeless, but I do love the Yellow Nineties fin-de-siecle, to the point where I had my last book design'd so as to resemble a volume publish'd in Wilde's London, with yellow boards and Beardsley on ye front. (We chose the Beardsley illustration as we felt the gent therein resembled me in drag.) I have just conquer'd a tedious three-month block and am nigh feverishly working on ye next two books. When I grow weary from labor I go to my MrWilum channel at YouTube and promote my books. Being a confirm'd Queer Punk Exhibitionist, I find YouTube rather alluring. What was it that Quentin Crisp said: "Exhibitionism is a drug. You get hooked." Amen. I am happy to be here, although I probably will keep activity to a minimum as I need to get my arse in gear and work. The joy of writing, for me, is in the work. It is the great blessing of my existence.
:iamwithstupid:
(I see that I forgot to turn of ye italics after fin-de-siecle--I'm rather inept with this computer hoodoo...)
Hi everyone, I am interested in learning about Shakespeare and his poems. Please let me know if you have any discussions about them.
Bye
Hi all,
I'm reader427. I am in high school and have been an avid bookworm for as long as I can possibly remember. Specifically, I enjoy classics (Austen, Hugo, Dickens ect). My favorite books are Sense and Sensibility, Les Miserables, and A Tale of Two Cities.
I am currently reading Shirley by Charlotte Bronte.
I hope to have many conversations.
Hi,
I am Sarah Abdulaziz from Saudi Arabia, I study the literature of English language at PNU.

Hi People,
I love literature, and it's hard to explain how or why, but all I know is that literature always proves its relevance to real life, and through it there could be an understanding of what real life, sometimes it's like a sponge sucking away your fears and pain, and sometimes it tells you where to be wary and conscious, in all, its relevance runs deep and thick in our lives, and it is hard to let it go just like that, and it's difficult to ignore its relevance to our lives.
Hi everyone,
It doesn't look like people are actually reading this thread anymore, but I usually never get around to actually posting in forums, so here goes:
I'm a high school student and sick of it, I'm really looking forward to getting out of high school and going to university. I love literature and art history, because they both use similar sorts of thinking. I'm currently reading 'Nights at the Circus' by Angela Carter, but my favourite authors are George Orwell and Shakespeare. My favourite books are probably 1984, Down and Out in Paris and London, and Hamlet, but there's so much I haven't read yet, like Dickens and more Shakespeare and everything else. I have a constantly changing list of books that I want to read, I know I won't get to most of them but it means that when I need something to read I can go to that list. This year I have been doing a research project for school about George Orwell, which is due in a couple of weeks. I've done more than I need to but honestly it's so much fun, and I want to make the most of it. It's that project that made me decide that I'd like to study literature at university. I definitely want to do a PhD at some stage, and would like to end up a professor at a university in England someday (I'm from New Zealand).
I am so excited I don't know vair to begin.
I just bought a PanDigital ereader a few months ago and have been reading my eyes blind.
So I wanted to find communities that were interested in this and find out what is going on, so here I am!
I vill be hanging around for sure, be vell all of you and happy reading!
Hello everyone.
I randomly decided to join a forum about literature today, and this is the address Google gave me.
I am a student, majoring in Social Sciences, and I have been reading full-ime since elementary school. Growing up, I always had problems finding people my age, as engaged in reading as me, so ever since long ago I gave up on discussing reading.
Then suddenly today, I was struck with an idea that I could do that on the Internet, so here I am.
My favorite writers would be Sidney Sheldon, Jack London, Walter Scott, and many more.
Hello,
i am Jurt (20). I was born in Germany and still live there. As a matter of fact my first language is German. I've learned English at school which i am still attending. The reasons, why I've registered in this forum, are my profound inclination to literature and my proposition to improve my English, so feel free to correct my howlers. I conceive that it its important to speak as many lanuages as possible. That's why I learn and improve my Englisch, French, Latin and Hebrew.
I am looking forward to a splendid time in this forum.
I suppose this is what I get for doing this at 4 am my time, totally didn't see the sticky post. *headslap* Hi, I'm Leif. I write. I blog. Too embarrassed to go on.
I'm Andy Bloom. 21. Just graduated from the University, faculty - Management (Minor-Marketing). Currently Unemployed.
English is not my first language.
