recently i read dan browns digital fortress.
a nice book but i was disappointed with dan brown because he has used the same way of making his story in which the male and female protagonist are in love and get involved in the same search(as in angels and demons ,da vinci and digital fortress)
but i would like to read your comments on the book.how did you find the book?better or best?
please elaborate on whatever u felt while reading the buk -on the story ,characters etc.

How hard is it to become a S. King or Salvatore, T. Brooks or even a Rowling. Is it a one in a million shot or does the average writer have a chance without waiting years?
I am debating on a career choice and need some help. (How hard is it to become a top selling artist?)

Earlier today I asked a question concerning the American road and the myth/identity issue. I would still be very glad to receive answers and I'm glad for the ones I already got! In response to Jack's answer, I would like to say that I'm aware that speed and mobility are very characteristic of the Americans. But that doesn't necessarily contradict my argument that the road is part of the American identity and that a myth of the road is being/has been created. If it wasn't for the road, there would be no mobility. And with mobility so present in American identity, the roads must be so too. Don't we all tend to romanticeze old times (cf. roads?) Haven't we all heard our parents talk of much better times when they were children? Even if life was harder then? What has helped create the myth of the road is fx Jack Kerouac's novel 'On the Road' which has been the inspiration of many road movies. It's good to know, though, that not all Americans romanticize the road. And I thank for your input

I'm so self conscience
more than a Kanye verse


This is how I feel about myself
To be honest with you I don't know where it all began


I remember when I was younger and carefree, I would be oblivious to negativity that surrounded me


But now it doesn't just surround me it's inside of me
I look at myself in a completely different light


there are so many insecurities I have in my life
From the way I talk, To the way I dress and look


The world can see my self doubt like I'm a open book
this is why the tears stream down my cheek


Stared at and critiqued by others, every inch of me
Confidence is something I fake, to mask the uneasiness
I feel inside


The beauty inside and out of me I've always tried to see
Does my weave and designer clothes make me beautiful or is it something more?
Maybe if I was close to a size four

Sterotyped, and easily put into a group

Timid and bemused

I wonder in your eyes, what kind of person I seem to you

When you look around you, or stare out of the window i.e. on a train, at work, do you actually take in all the little things that are happening, or do you just look and not see anything?

I notice everything, and study people in such depth! The world is a fascinating place, don't you think?

1. Do you know of a website that gives you step by step instructions on how to do this?
2. Can real gold pain come in liquid or spray form.
3. Can I paint over the gold that is already there?
4. If I use gold spray paint will that decrease the value of the furniture?

The only reason that keeps me from doing this favor to myself is my family because I don’t wana hurt them, but it is getting harder and harder to take the pain anymore. Pain of living in a f Islamic country while I’m not a Moslem anymore, pain of seeing the women and girls of my country being treated like slaves while I deeply believe in their equal rights, pain of watching the savage governments of my country destroying every thing that has left; every one in this country is desperate and sad, and I guess my biggest problem is that I lost the god in the middle of the way, so now I have nothing or no one to give me hope or willing to live. My father and mother are both conservative Moslems and they always blame me for protecting my sisters rights. I’m really sick and tired of foolish argues with my parents about my sister, and I’m really sick and tired of this life.

i'm writing a paper on reactions to art work in the 19th century and i was just wondering what some of your reactions were to Rodin's "the Kiss". It caused quite a scandal when he first unveiled it but now it doesn't appear so unappropriate.
