Mine is 'The Black New Yorkers'. I had no idea that my people had such a rich history in all the 5 boroughs of NYC, dating back to slavery days. They even had the written records of businesses down in the Wall Street area owned by black men and women. And the pictures were wonderful. I found myself traveling to some of the sites just to see if these places still exist(like, did you know the 1st African-American elementary school in NYC was right across the street from the big New York Public Library on 42nd and 5th aves?) It was just a really great read-so great, I read all 500-plus pages in less than a week!

What's yours?

Having experienced life as it is, if you could go back to before you were born, would you choose to be born and go through it all again? By "all", I mean EVERYTHING! No additional knowledge or abilities, all the same...

I would choose: NO because I am an unhappy, unhealthy, deeply troubled person with no family, friends, or stable belief system.

For my 12th grade English class for a thesis paper. It has to be about a topic, like abortion, gay rights, etc...
For example My Sister's Keeper was about stem cell research.
But not that book we just read it in English

A good interesting book, a page turner type, not a boring one

Thanks

e, wouldnt it basically mean that time is a loop?

because the universe would follow the laws, and thus the cycle would repeat itself just like the time before

thoughts?

like whereever, but like what did you have to do, what did they "feel", what did they see, how many people were there, what was searched, and all the gross details (not to be like a sikko, but just i case - i would want to now in case it happened)

They possibly had large teeth, possibly pointy ears. I think they may have lived under the earth. Caves? I can barely remember this book from my childhood. Any help is appreciated!

Which brand of writing pencils have the best non-scratchy erasers, soft #2 lead, and sharpens well? Some pencils I get are too light when you write with them, and sometimes the lead always breaks when I sharpen them, and the erasers are sometimes stiff and make orange streaks on my paper.
