If money was not a factor in your life what would you be doing differently?

If wealth was an unknown word, and they only thing you had to do was the thing that brought you the most joy or happiness. I suspect that few of us do what we love for a living because what we want to do doesnt pay enough to pay our bills. But what if that was never the case. Who would you be? What would you do? Something completely different, or are you doing what you want to do. Look deep inside and tell the truth.

What's the best "Great American Novel" ever written?

My own favorite is "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Best last paragraph ever written: "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then--but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms a little farther--until one fine morning---So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
How can you top that? In those words, Fitzgerald captures the entire "American Dream," and how it continues to elude so many of us.

Need some good book suggustions?

Hi I got a chapters gift certificate and want to pick a couple good books to get lost in. I am just finished reading The Dark Tower and feel like I need something a little less depressing. Something I can get sucked into. Something rich and discriptive, preferably historical or maybe a really good horror.

Thanks

What led to the decline of the Luwaffe?

I mean by the time Operation Overlord took place, the Luwaffe was practically helpless in providing a significant support for the panzer korps or am I wrong?

Feel free to correct me on this aspect. Cheers.

Do you like my story? Part 2?

...Tom got out of the bus and the frosty wind lashed his face. He ran to one of the houses and by pushing the door with his shoulder he got in the warm room. The chamber was a living room and a kitchen at the same time and at the bottom there was an old black stove that was giving the only light in there. Tom threw his jacket on the sofa, stood in front of the cupboards and after taking out some sausages from the fridge he started prepairing the dinner.
The clock on the wall has just rang for eight time when the door opened again and in the room got another man. He was tall and thin, with cold unshaven face and big brown eyes which were now downcast. He shaked off the snow of his umbella and looked round.
"Hi uncle Frank!" Tom greeted and carefuly turned the sausage in the pan.
Uncle Frank mumbled.
"How did it go?" Tom asked worried.
"Bad. They said that I need to have a job to save the house." he said and lied back in one armchair near the stove.
Tom looked down...

I would like some suggestions on new books to read please. Thanks!?

I'm am open minded to all suggestions, please leave me a reason why you like that book or author ...

I just finished 3 of Dan Brown's 4 books (I still need to read Digital Fortress) & I am searching for suggestions on more authors that I would like ...

Also I just read "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" by Kim Edwards. Loved that.

I prefer stories based on real people, events, or history.

I really like these authors.

But I want suggestions for more.

I would like to read more about:

Native American stories or history,
Lives of amazing people,
True stories of real life events, &
Even action/mystery/thrillers like what Dan Brown has.

I have even read a few on the acts of serial killers & how they solved the cases. Those were okay, interesting I use to love Steven King. But for some reason lost my intrest and took a break for those books.

I got some books by Maya Angelou from Ebay I think she is great.

I'll take any & all suggestions!

Thanks a lot! :)
