I was just looking at the article in Wikipedia about Machiavelli, and it referred to an essay edited by Voltaire which had been written against the effectiveness of Machiavelli's principles. So my question is was Voltaire against Machiavelli or his ideas?

it was a children's book. About fairy tales but written in differently. What i remember is there was the story of the little red riding hood except that the Big Bad Wolf was actually nice and red was actually really rude. And i think there was the frog prince story too, except the frog gets fried and eaten..
Unfortunately, i don't remember the title nor the author. But I think the cover of the book was blueish and had the picture of little red riding hood and the wolf.

It's about a girl who in the days prior to her wedding is in her parents attic and accidently trips and falls through a full length mirror belonging to her grandmother. She is transported back in time and lives her grandmother's life all the while struggling to adapt in order to survive in the past and unable to get back to the present and her own life.

If anybody knows this title I would love to hear from you! I read this book about 25 years ago, but lost my copy when my home burned and the title has haunted me ever since. Thanks!

last night i had my very first drink
just to see how it would taste
and i felt a burning feeling
down there around my waist

then i had another
and my tongue was gettin' thicker
but i thought this ain't so bad
for my very first drink of likker

then the barkeep set 'em up
and i got kinda woozy
and i started makin' eyes
at the local barroom floozy

we sat there a little while
and i had a couple more
don't even remember my buddies
totin' me out the door

then i woke up next mornin'
and i got to thinkin'
to hell with all this likker, man
i ain't cut out for drinkin'

Not a classical one - not one of those from Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway. I mean any short story made by a new comer. Like something that won a writing contest

I have read a theory that Dumbledore is an Animagus, in the form of a phoenix. If this is true, which is not far from happening, then I have concluded that Dumbledore's close ties with his phoenix means something. Dumbledore could have mated with another phoenix and produced Fawkes!
