All remember is that it was about a couple that start dating in college, they separate (don't remember why) and they try to keep in contact. I think he also goes to war... and that he was studying something like accounting. She was of money and her family wants her to go out with someone else (I think). I also think that she gets pregnant and loses the baby. At the end she had married someone else but he goes looking for her and they end up together.

I believe that it was either told from his point of view or from both's and that the title had something to do with Christmas or a gift

I know is vague and I don't think the novel was pretty good but it was the first novel I ever read in English I really want to read it again so, any suggestion is really gonna work. Thanks!

I think it was written by a guy...

I have done massive search for it and have found nothing I'm hoping that someone read anything that seems like it PLEASE!!!

So the fabled big-screen version of "Neuromancer" (supposedly set to be directed by Chris Cunningham) seems to be stuck in preproduction limbo. Do you think William Gibson's classic could ever be made into a decent movie? I believe it could be with a lot of work, but I doubt it would be popular with the general moviegoing audience because of the convoluted story (that actually requires thought!).

...or because he wanted to draw the reader into sympathizing with a position of rebellion that he did not agree with, even though he understood it?

I recently bought a cd-rom of a work that has become public domain. The creator has taken the public domain work and scanned the pages, creating PDF files. He claims the work is copyrighted and can't be used without his permission. I am wondering is this possible? It's the same work he has just changed the medium.

In "Order of the Phoenix," we find out that the Weasleys weren't in the original Order of the Phoenix. Why not? The Potters, who were younger, were, as were many older witches and wizards. What were the Weasleys doing?

When I was younger my parents bought me a scifi compilation and all i remember is that one of the stories involved a lady that had to dance on thin wires to coax some sort of alien to do something. and she finally did it by usin all her pent up emotions and poured them into the dance. I also seem to recall that Isaac Asimov had something to do with the compilation book, but i don't rmember what. Unfortunately this book was lost long ago and i;m tryin to retrack it down cuz i loved it so.

Does anyone know any good books with shape-shifters in them? I especially like werewolves and cat people. Any genre is okay. I've read Sherriyln Kenyon and Christine Feehan and know a couple of odd ball others, but am having trouble finding more. Thanks!

OK since so many people enjoyed reading the other poem I put up, here is a totally different one that I wrote! And YES these are truly 100% my work, btw. This one is free verse, and was written last winter when my sweetie and I were broken up for a while.

White Hole

and the thing of it is
I love you
and somehow being free
just means being smaller,
contracting in the cold
in a pale way,
light, whiter, whitest...
'til I am a negation,
walking through windows
and staring through walls
petals pursing curling furling
like the flag of some defeated
army of one, bloodlessly broken,
birch branch bones outlined eerily
through skin of mist and fog.
A portable ghost traveling through time,
I haunt my empty self, doubt
gnawing and nibbling at the fibers
of the shroud of faith I wear
to lend a familiar shape
to my non existence.

I know that regular glue generally doesn't work, and tape isn't strong enough to hold it. It's a good chunk of pages that are coming out in one big section. Is there a special type of glue for book bindings? Is there anything else I can use?

I've been looking around for a while for any kind of book that has letters or instant messaging or something interesting in it. I found a few books but not many. I want to read a book that has someone writing back and forth to a friend or something. I love those kinds of books. Can you think of any?
