Okay, this might seem a bit stupid, but my friend and I were discussing which literary character we find attractive or would wanna do. C'mon, we all do it - we're reading a novel, and suddenly find ourselves compelled to the characters...even find some of them sexy. So...who would you add to your list of sexy literary characters? Personally - i'd do Hamlet...what do ya think? *i know...too much time on my hands*

Do Frog and Toad go their separate ways? Do they hit upon the realization that one of them's a frog and the other's a toad? Do they wish each other well and ride off into different directions under a setting sun? Does Toad go completely batty? Is there any hope for a reunion show years down the road?

I remember reading a short story online sometime last year and it really got me deep down inside. I added the website address to my favourites but due to a recent virus attack on my comp a few weeks ago, i lost the address. does anyone have it?

it was about a young man who was once a chess champion but due to some reasons, was reduced to making a livelihood in a coffeehouse by playing with customers. if he won the game, he would win a cup of coffee ...

so one day he meets the devil who offers to play a game of chess with him. if he loses, the devil will claim his soul and bring him to hell. if he wins, the devil will offer the crystal chessboard, to him, and he can sell it for a considerable sum of money.

he wins the game.

i really long to read it again so pls, if anybody knows the website address, pls post it here. thx alot.

books of the Bible. Have you bought any one of the books or a book that has them all in it. Apocrypia? I believe they called it. I am interested in reading these books and wonder if you have any and what is the title of your book so I can order it. Thank you.

I'd like to read the original Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern, not the abridged version by Goldman. Goldman took out a whole lot of boring stuff to make the abridged version, but I'd like to see what that boring stuff was.

O that this too too solid flesh would melt,

Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!

Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd

His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God!

How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable

Seem to me all the uses of this world!

Fie on't! O fie! 'tis an unweeded garden,

That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature

Possess it merely. That it should come to this!

But two months dead!—nay, not so much, not two:

So excellent a king; that was, to this,

Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother,

That he might not beteem the winds of heaven

Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth!

Must I remember? Why, she would hang on him

As if increase of appetite had grown

By what it fed on: and yet, within a month,—

Let me not think on't,—Frailty, thy name is woman!—

A little month; or ere those shoes were old

With which she followed my poor father's body

Like Niobe, all tears;—why she, even she,—

O God! a beast that wants discourse of reason,

Would have mourn'd longer,—married with mine uncle,

My father's brother; but no more like my father

Than I to Hercules: within a month;

Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears

Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,

She married:—O, most wicked speed, to post

With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!

It is not, nor it cannot come to good;

But break my heart,—for I must hold my tongue!
