I like a book filled with action but it also has to have story. I don't want non-fiction, but it's fine if the story has some actual facts in it. I don't care for Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. Any recommendations?

I have trouble concentrating and understanding what I'm reading, so I'm wondering if it's just the books I read.

I try to read and am very interested the book I read, but I can never finish the books.

I love comedy, mysteries, and christian books, but I am willing to try any book.

Any book suggestions that you enjoy reading and you think I might like too?

I'm looking for a detailed, one-volume history of the American Revolution, ala James McPherson's history of the Civil War, "Battle Cry of Freedom." Thanks, everyone!

I'm translating a story (the Dubliners by James Joyce) and there's a boy who hears that his friend is dead but he's not sure. Next day he goes to his house and sees a cart which proves that his friend is dead. So the boy says: "I was disturbed to find myself at check."
I want the meaning of the sentence in quotation.

I'm writing a novel about werewolves and vampires. I need a good last name for my main character Angelica Layne .... Just to give you an idea about her... She lives near the beach and works at the local flea market. She does not drink from people's necks, but can be found at the blood bank at the hospital, where she has a friend there who is nice enough to help the girl out. She is self cofident and very sarcastic. She has long wavy fiery red hair and wears a lot of tipical vampire black, which she calls her contribution to the vampire society. Please help...I was going to go with Ickleburg... Come on I'm dying here...

I am a mezzo-soprano. I have a song that I normally use, but when an audition asks for only 16 bars, it doesn't show range. Any ideas?

I just adopted a female cattle dog mix. She is petite, almost built like a whippet and is so beautiful with all different colors on her...black, tan, dark brown, grey/blue, and white. I want to name her something artsy (b/c I am an artist). Any suggestions? Perhaps a greek, hebrew, or latin word that means "colorful"? or "multi-colored"? or "painted"? Something along those lines...

Come on ... no matter what question is asked here, it seems five people have to respond "Harry Potter". What is the best romance mystery? Harry Potter. What is a good non-fiction book to read? Harry Potter. I already read Harry Potter - what else should I read? Read Harry Potter again and wait for the new one. What is the best book on existentialism? Harry Potter. What is the best book on brain surgery? Harry Potter. What is the best book on quantum physics? Harry Potter. Get over it people! They are just seven books in a universe of millions of books. Harry Potter is not the "best" book on anything! They are at best mediocre books with repetitive plots and dull characters.

So here is my question ... Do those of you who write Harry Potter as the answer to every question really believe it or am I missing the joke here? Fair question ... Pax - C

What do you think Earth's future is? Star Trek TNG-like (utopistic with no money, little to no crime whatsoever (but still penal colonies for those who do), and a peaceful relations with most alien cultures)? Or Andromeda like (Earth is at war with many an alien species and crime is rampant)? I mean by the year 2350, which is (roughly) when TNG takes place. Will we have warp drive (In Star Trek, warp drive was invented in 2063 by Zephrine Cochrane)? Will we have met alien cultures even (in Star Trek, the same year warp drive was invented was the FIRST first contact (Vulcans))? Will we have the most powerful armada of ships? Or will we mostly be operating peaceful mission like the Enterprise? Give your take!
