Joyce is widely known for breaking with the conventional rules on how a novel should be build up and what it should consist of, but what is it that makes this novel so extraordinary in the development of a modernistic culture during the turn of the century?

lets say that one of the important "good" characters had to die. Who would you want to die. I mean, if a random good character did die, for whom would you feel the least amount of sadness?

I have been reading for a day (I started yesterday) and I am wondering why it starts out as Galinda the Good, then it changed suddenly to Glinda...

For me, it would have to be "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee or "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell.

Men cannot relate to emotion or feelings these poems are about feelings and emotions. Men are afriaid of their feelings and cant related to others feelings. Men are afraid of emotion so they hate these poems because they are represed and dont know or understand them Men are logical cold intellectual fish who relate to cars and technology more than poetry. That is why women will always chose a poet over a cold intellectual and men have to find a poem to express their felings cos they dont know how to write about emotion

After investgating the reaction of people to these poems over about a week I have found that more women love them and more men hate them. Why should there be such a great disparity between women and mens taste. Why should men hate them and women love them. Do men and women have a different aesthetic or could I say women are more liberated and less inhibited and love language more

I read this book more then 25 years ago. It is based loosely on an actual sailor who made it back to England after many years in Africa to retell his story.

I am 15 and I seem to have exhausted all the books that really intrest me. I enjoyed reading books like the Alex Rider series, His dark Materials and Sabriel-Liriel-Abhorsen (by Garth Nix). I also liked Lord of the Rings, but it bored me in places. What other books do you think would be a must read for me? I am not looking for a list of dull classics or books aimed at a small audience, just something a will enjoy. Thank you in advance.

1. Man on Fire

My life was once so simply hollow,
I killed with no regret, not even sorrow.
Though now I kill in your name,
Please come back to me or end this pain.

Be the faith I’ve lost before,
Please be there when I’m there no more.
I cannot fight alone again,
I need you now, I needed you then.

Shut out this pain I’ve never known,
I’ll avenge your death, with a heart of stone.
I finally knew love like never before,
Something well worth dying for.

When I read your diary I felt at home,
I even hear your voice when I’m alone.
The times we had - I let them end,
I know now, my old scars will never mend.

2. Beauty of Fatalities

To have the blast of rifles firing
so near to my ear
Yet it sounds calm and Serene
As if whispers to hear.

But to see burning bullets wisp by…
More like a conflict of art
Than the images of war.
In more ways than one, it stills my heart.

To see the short-lived, deadly eruptions
Of fire and debris
The intensity shakes the earth,
-Ever silent to me.

To witness the soothing waves of crimson
From the ocean behind,
The price we’ve paid, we pay it still,
Colors of blood, beautiful and kind.

All the soldiers charge forward
The hero’s lay still
Cowards cry over their fate
The brave fight it with an iron will.

I remember when the book "Hannibal" came out and I was disappointed because I felt that it was more of a sequel to the movie instead of the book especially because I had read the "Silence of the Lambs" a few weeks before "Hannibal" came out. But I was just reading the synopsis of "Hannibal" at wikipedia and there was no mention of this at all. So I am left to wonder if I was wrong about this.
