Not every book, but those of authors I really enjoy. Especially if it is a series with reoccuring characters. I pick actors and actresses as if I were casting it for film, then picture the action in my head as I read. Anyone else do this?

The book needs to be about early american history to 1850. Something that happened in that time range. I'd like a book that is about 200 pages and intresting to read. Something that pertains to women would be good. Any suggestions, I'm in college?

In an interview with George Stephonoplous on ABC, Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, the incoming Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he would vote for Robert Gates as
Secretary of Defense (despite having opposed him for CIA Director in 1991) because (basically) he's not Donald Rumsfeld. Interestingly enough, Biden was a first term Senator when President Ford appointed Rumsfeld Secretary of Defense in 1975. How did he vote in that confirmation process? (For that matter, how did Biden vote in 2001?)

I'm writing a paper on a work presented in a museum. In the paper I have to talk about th e stylistic period that I think the painting represented, for instance Realism, Impressionism, etc. I was going to call the painting as part of the "realism" style, but in doing my research I came across that it was an American "genre" painting. Is American genre painting a style on its own, or is it a type of realism?

I'm looking for a book to give as a gift to a first-grader with advanced reading skills. I would like something with enough pictures to keep it interesting for her and vocabulary that will challenge her a little.

I would prefer stories about African or African-American characters, or at least with a good diversity. It would be great to find someting that she would want to keep, rather than outgrow...

Thanks in advance!

Autumn
I know its Autumn when the leaves turn green to red.
I know its Autumn when a Pumpkin pie is baked.
I know its Autumn when the leaves begin to fall.
And when the seasons over I will miss it all.
