Books & Authors - July 2006

I recently read the book, "the Year of Her Life" by Liz Ryan and became totally absorbed by this story and the characters. When Laurie died I was devastated and it made me cry for ages. Did anyone else feel the same way about this book, or another book?
I feel like I have lost some good friends and find it difficult to concentrate on reality afterwards - does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone read the Trixie Belden series? They are like Nancy Drew just a little different. They have been around since the late 40's and they are starting to re-produce the books and I was just wondering if anyone besides me has read any of them, is reading them, or has even heard of these books. If you haven't I highly suggest that you do, they good for all ages too!

What I remember from reading The Hobbit a long time ago is that the Hobbits were just like people except they had furry feet and lived under trees. I never finished reading the other Tolkien books but I got the impression that all of the non-human creatures acted like humans. They seemed to have all the same strengths and weaknesses as people, approximately the same IQs, same approach to problem solving as people, no super powers. So what was the point of making them non human if they were going to act human?

Is that the name of the story? It was about a Hungarian man and his daughter whose name was Kate (I think). Once he buys her her own white horse. It described their lifestyle, rounding up wild horses, her traditional costumes etc. I don't know if that is the book's name or not, can you confirm?

I'm not talking about amazon or barnes and noble or anything like that, but somewhere that has lists of books with werewolves or fairy tale retellings or those sort of genre lists. Theme lists. Thanks a lot.

I love retellings of Beauty and the Beast. Does anyone know any? Any genre is fine new or old. I know some myself like Mckinley's Beauty and Rose Daughter, but too many to list here. I just want more. Thanks.

If the purpose of great writing is to be concise and direct, then why are authors such as Shakespeare and Cervantes, who are famous for long-winded and bloated speeches in their work, considered to be so great?

Perferably adult level books, any kind. I would like to know the title, author(if you remember), and what it's about. I like pretty much anythint but my favorites are historical fiction, and lately I've been getting into those trashy romance novels(I think they're hilarious!). Any answers would be appreciated!
