I have read a lot of books, but I have never read anything by Stephen King, which, since he is such a major author, makes me feel deficient. Anyway, if I was going to read just one book by Stephen King, which would you recommend to me?

Anything from animals, humans, to poses! Nude reference books are accepted. Please no manga, I'm sick of that art style - no offence.

Thanks!

If you could only pick one and not the other which would you have.

1)Have someone love you intimately but never have sex with you.
2)Have sex with you but never truly love you.

Oh snap. What's the question?

Have you ever seen such creamy, smooth and delicious blurring in your life from a digital camera with less than a full-frame sensor?

Okay, that's a bit overstated, but at least it's a question.

If everything we see, hear, smell, touch or taste is in our minds, are our senses any good at giving us accurate or true information about the world?

Here is my problem:

I'm 21, and I've never been in a relationship, and that's mainly because I have a lot of difficulty understanding what's going on here.

Just pretend your girlfriend or boyfreind didn't have sex organs, okay? When you remove the sexual attraction, and the romance from the picture, what is the difference between your love for your significant other, and your love for your friend or family member?

I just don't get it. I know it may sound completely stupid, and maybe it's becuase I've never been "in love" or whatever. It's just that, everytime I think I want a relationship, I remember that dating always feels silly, like a waste of time, and having a "real" relationship with someone would mean friendship... which isn't really different from a regular friendship except for the sex part... or is it? Someone please explain this to me! Am I crazy?

I often find myself sitting around thinking about universal human nature and wondering about the reasons why people think and act a certain way, how much people have changed over time, and the effects this has on our physical world, sometimes for hours on end. I'm 13 years of age, I love to learn, and I apparently have a bit too much free time on my hands. Is this normal? Or do I just have a passion for psychology? I wish I could explain a bit better.

The point is---------- Do kids my age do this as well? Have any of you ever wondered about this sort of thing?

And the city time's opposite noon the clock lands
Sun, reflecting of the moon in my hands
It's brightness did lighten it there for man
And the amazing rays earth do bring upon it

And the galls over rivers soaring above
Flying high by day: for then pouring love
And they sing in anticipation of men coming together
They sing loud of the nations in the coldest weather

And there safety can be found in its warmth
Their beautiful sounds thing that deserve of a man
the attention of a mob that lasted long
Now, that's music's job, which serves its ejaculating song

THE music, The greatest of our songs, happily humming along
We sing quietly along! Steaming breaths lasting long
Leaving pain just wholly gone as we continue to smile on
Those that are present should sing with the souls growing song
