Dictionary Definition : Laura: Also known as "Solveig", her internet pseudonym, this female specimen of Homo Sapiens founded the Literary Cabinet world. One can spot "Laura," by the fun she has grading papers and drinking coffee, with triple coffee consumption ever since she quit smoking. Like another species, Homo Sapiens Zarasahanous, she enjoys picking at the extreme Twilight fans. This specimen is particularly fond of procrastinating, as most of the other species of the Literary Cabinet Universe are.

| I guess it's not read very widely  Anyway, I will recommend it to the group, it is a lovely, and very short, read. I wouldn't buy it, though. Just get it from the library. | |

| It's about the Queen of England. One day, she visits a travelling library, and picks up a book... and from then on, she keeps reading, everywhere, all the time, until her reputation starts to suffer and her staff wonder whether she might be sick. It is very funny, very British, but also very short. | |
