I am 15 and I seem to have exhausted all the books that really intrest me. I enjoyed reading books like the Alex Rider series, His dark Materials and Sabriel-Liriel-Abhorsen (by Garth Nix). I also liked Lord of the Rings, but it bored me in places. What other books do you think would be a must read for me? I am not looking for a list of dull classics or books aimed at a small audience, just something a will enjoy. Thank you in advance.

I want to find out about my ancestors and who they were, but I don't really know any names. I know my mother's name, father's name, maternal grandparents' names, and my maternal great-grandmother's name. Where do I go from here to find my ancestors?

1. Man on Fire

My life was once so simply hollow,
I killed with no regret, not even sorrow.
Though now I kill in your name,
Please come back to me or end this pain.

Be the faith I’ve lost before,
Please be there when I’m there no more.
I cannot fight alone again,
I need you now, I needed you then.

Shut out this pain I’ve never known,
I’ll avenge your death, with a heart of stone.
I finally knew love like never before,
Something well worth dying for.

When I read your diary I felt at home,
I even hear your voice when I’m alone.
The times we had - I let them end,
I know now, my old scars will never mend.

2. Beauty of Fatalities

To have the blast of rifles firing
so near to my ear
Yet it sounds calm and Serene
As if whispers to hear.

But to see burning bullets wisp by…
More like a conflict of art
Than the images of war.
In more ways than one, it stills my heart.

To see the short-lived, deadly eruptions
Of fire and debris
The intensity shakes the earth,
-Ever silent to me.

To witness the soothing waves of crimson
From the ocean behind,
The price we’ve paid, we pay it still,
Colors of blood, beautiful and kind.

All the soldiers charge forward
The hero’s lay still
Cowards cry over their fate
The brave fight it with an iron will.

It seems to me that the only truth out there is purely subjective. Whatever a person believes is their truth but it goes no further. I often get in arguments with my brother but I can't make him see anything more than he wants to or vice-versa.

For every scholar who says one thing I can find another who says he's wrong. Everyone thinks "truth" is on their side.

Look at religions. I've heard that 20 or more new religions are created each day on this planet. Why? Well, I guess they disagreed with the old one.

But is there any real one truth? On anything? I'm starting to believe that there really isn't. What do you think?

I remember when the book "Hannibal" came out and I was disappointed because I felt that it was more of a sequel to the movie instead of the book especially because I had read the "Silence of the Lambs" a few weeks before "Hannibal" came out. But I was just reading the synopsis of "Hannibal" at wikipedia and there was no mention of this at all. So I am left to wonder if I was wrong about this.

with respect to Himself, as an Individual. The business of Man not to pry into God, but to study himself.

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan;
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Plac'd on this isthmus of a middle state,(28)
A being darkly wise, and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side,
With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest,
In doubt to deem himself a God, or Beast;
In doubt his Mind or Body to prefer,
Born but to die, and reas'ning but to err;
Alike in ignorance, his reason such,
Whether he thinks too little, or too much:
Chaos of Thought and Passion, all confus'd;
Still by himself abus'd, or disabus'd;
Created half to rise, and half to fall;
Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all;
Sole judge of Truth, in endless Error hurl'd:
The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!

Extract from Alexender popes "An essay on man".
