Happy, happy day, Dele! Curl up with a good book on us! ;)

Welcome, World-in-Unison! I'm afraid that based on your description, you probably won't like our paranormal offering, but our historical called "Road to Riches" might be just right. There isn't even a kiss between the hero and heroine, but they do end up together. What you are looking for...

I would personally go with the black background and white text, but change the title to either gold or red. (If your publisher has the ability to do gold foil, that would really be best.) The black grabs the reader, but right now, you focus on the photos rather than the title. That's not good...

Okay, let me put my thinking cap on and I'll see what I can come up with. Stewart talks about both Republicans and Democrats, with a sharp edge of humor on both sides. Don't know if you've ever watched his "Daily Show" on the Comedy Channel, but he's pretty fair in his attacks.

Do you have a preferred war? What other war novels have you read and liked?

Well, depending on the edition you get, I think W&P weighs in at about 1,010 pages. HP:TOOTP is about 980 in the edition I have, so pretty darned close.

You picked some very complimentary goals, Cindy! It sounds a lot like you need to spend more time at the library! Free books, free movies (so no money spent) and a setting condusive to studying! ;) :)

Surprisingly, he's not biased much at all. He skewers both sides equally! :D Are you specifically looking at political primers for the United States, or the world as a whole?

Welcome! If you like pre-50's detective fiction, have you tried Rex Stout and Raymond Chandler? They also rivaled Christie in their heyday of the 30s and 40s.

I've only read the first book, the whole series coming to my attention as a result of the movie (which apparently is the first THREE books). I found it fun in sort of a perverse way. To some adults, the "definitions" might be distracting. The narrator is one of the characters, and speaks...

Hmm. I'll agree that the death toll might have been reduced in SOME locations, gallagher672003, but where would most of the people have GONE? From satellite photos of the hardest hit areas, they are small islands with no high ground to climb to. A mass exodus probably wouldn't be possible...

Read it. Wasn't impressed. Probably my "want to" would be either the new Harry Potter book or the new Jim Butcher book when they come out. That is, if I can ever get to the bottom of my PRESENT TBR stack! :eek: :rolleyes:

If I could only recommend one author, it would be Isaac Asimov. He wrote in so many different genres, and did it so well, that you would get a very wide selection of exceptional novels, treatises and dissertations!

How about "cultural preference?" The problem with lumping religious preference with racism is that it inflames the discussion. The term "racism" is such a trigger topic with so many people that any sort of preference, whether it's supporting one football team (either version of the game... ;)...

#1 - the genre (in case that's what you meant) is considered science fiction, because it's set in the future with events that haven't yet occurred. #1 - the type of writing (what I think you meant), as I understand your question relating to the paragraph, is known as "deep point of view". A...

Uhm, the post was directed to Sun-SSS, so I'm confused by your reply, RitalinKid. My only comment was that religious bias is not now, nor has it ever been "racism". Racism has to do with actual racial differences, such as skin color or physical characteristics, as opposed to geographic...

First, I kept a journal in my teens and didn't find that it was as helpful for me as other people seemed to find them. I'm introspective by nature, and I guess I don't need to see the written word to find meaning in my thoughts. I know that some people find it cathartic, however. Second...

Welcome, float_on! You might mention for those in other countries that NC is North Carolina in the U.S. (unless, of course, you're somewhere else, and I'm wrong... :p ) I see by your current reading that you like fantasy. What other authors do you like?

:confused: How is this a "racist" remark, Sun? Nobody said that because they're dark-skinned or from the Middle East, they should give more. The point being made, IMO, was that a wealthy nation of a similar religious belief might have assisted others of like mind more heavily than those of...

A bright and happier New Year to each of you. May your shelves overflow with brilliant words and your life be peaceful enough to partake of them.
