What good are the no-nothing rainbows What good is the sun, what good is the moon, What good are the stars? When all the gold rusts, when all the star dust no longer floats from the sky where will the fairies and dragons go, where will we send the magical children, made from this fairy and dragon love. When misty clouds no longer appear, and good luck rain no longer falls, when the re-education camps go on forever and the future no longer remember the past, where will the fairies and dragons go, where will we send the magical children, made from this fairy and dragon love.

Vietnam and Fairies? Are you mad? -4-

Stick with the things within your sphere of knowledge and ability, until your better practiced in both. This looks like a failed attempt to explain your thoughts and feeling over something, you don't know enough about, in a form, you don't know enough about.

lol, I had a sneaking suspicion that you were a couple of the My_Name_Looks_Like_This_Girls.

When writing about books, I recommend classics(More chance of the subject matter having been read by your reader). As is, it looks quite unique(a modern feat), but reads like the mutterings of a very senile asian woman having an acid flashback. Which I'm sure others might enjoy, but I just didn't like much.

I recommend the exact opposite of pinkbunnyofdoom's suggestion. Only total hacks write about classics.
