Many people seem to think there is "literature" and then there's "children's literature", and never the twain shall meet. I love to read. The foundation for that was laid when I was little, by reading lots and lots of stories. GOOD stories--because they had quality characters and plots--the same things I appreciate as an adult reader.
I've just been listening to a man on the radio talking about the desperate need to protect our children from scary stuff in books. While I think parents are absolutely vital in the process, by reading WITH their kids (I have a very bright and inquisitive 7-year-old), I also think that the idea that kids must always be shielded from anything disturbing is codswallop. Kids are fully-formed, real, entire human beings by the time they begin reading, and they feel all those forbidden emotions whether we give them permission to or not. Sorry for the rant--I'm interested in hearing other parents' and readers' perspectives, whether you agree with me or not.

Perhaps a ball point or a roller ball pen, can anybody reccomend any pens or good manufacturers of pens.

I am willing to spend a bit of money on one but not anything ridiculous...Perhaps around 30 -50 pound.

Many thanks.

ok, one of the main characters has a daughter, but the daughter was kidnapped by the natives on the island. Theo, the MAIN character, is planning to follow the guards back to the city after their meeting, but the king said that he would kill them if they went back to the city, but I can't let too many good things happen in a row until the end, because then its not so exciting. What should I do?

On p.49 of his book, The Assault on Reason, Al Gore mentions a 1797 treaty ratified unanimously by the Senate and signed by the President that explicitly declared that the United States of America was not a Christian nation, any more than it was a Jewish or Muslim one. What treaty was it?

I want to read books that has a message to the world, something that the author feels he has to say to the world. I'm sick of books that is just a thriller story that you forget after reading.

I want to read a book that has meaning and will teach you something about life and will really affect you. Do you know where I can find those kind of books? Oh and I don't want bibles and religious spirit kind of thing, I want a fiction book or a semi-fiction. Please. Where should I look to find these kind of books?
