I have recently found myself with actual free time to read. (I just finished up my masters in special education teachers). I had been reading a 19 book arc in the Star Wars series before I had to put it them aside. I am wondering if I should continue with this series or read some other books. I like sci-fi (Star Wars), mystery, and romance the most. Maybe you can even recommend some good books outside this series.

Just read Wicked. Great book though i am still trying to figure out what the dragon clock was all about. But it definitely made me take a second glance at Dorothy.

Who is the evil one?
Give your reasons too, not just: Captain Ahab is evil.
Personally, Ahab IS evil. He brings himself to go on this revenge-seeking voyage at the expense of the Pequod's sailors. The while whale, Moby Dick is a symbol of unforeseen knowledge, this presense of good, the purity of nature...
Thanks for your opinions!

Can anyone point me in the direction to find any original works by Edward Dorn or Richard Brautigan. They were two of the best American writers of Poetry and Prose. Any help would be really appreciated.

I'm looking for some good science fiction books at a tenth grade reading level for my little brother. If you know of a good Science fiction book please tell me the Title and/or the author. I was thinking maybe the book "Things Not Seen." I know that it is a Science Fiction book, but I'm not sure if it would be a good tenth grade book. Any information helps!
Thanks Guys!

Homosexuality was called "sodomy" under old British law, and Wilde, the author of a number of popular satires, served a sentence in the jail (or "gaol") at Reading, upon being convicted of illegal acts during a liaison with a young man.

The popular playwright and poet was deeply moved upon witnessing a man being executed for slaying the woman he loved, as he was himself a fellow convict in a case centering around love. Straights, of course, were then as now unlikely to reciprocate with compassion for a man or woman suffering as a result of acting on his or her homosexuality.

The poem says in part:

"For all men kill the thing they love...By all let this be heard!...Some men do it with a smile,...Some with a flattering word. The coward does it with a kiss, ...The brave man with a sword."

Earnest and immortal words by the author of the satirical play, "The Importance of Being Earnest". Judas had kissed Jesus in betrayal, and Wilde's paramour had kissed and told!

Ok, I know HP fans have a ton of different opinions on the subject, but i want to see, who thinks Dumbledore's dead and who thinks he's still alive? I"m just wondering how many people think what. And by the way, I'm not telling what I think yet cause i dont want any biased answers. I'll tell you my opinion later.

I have some ideas for a book. Do I just start writing, or is there a "getting started" process. I have seen books on writing books, but they seem like more of a gimmic than anything.

I am writing a semi autobiographical novel but my agent says it has so many chapters about men with their trousers down, it should be a farce. A farce is comical- Do you laugh at men with their trousers down?

When Pi was on the boat, before he got to the island with the meerkats, what was the whole thing about the Frenchman? Was that really just his imagination playing tricks on him, like what he thought Richard Parker might be saying if he had a voice, or was it actually a person there? I'm a little bit confused about that whole section of the book, and if it's supposed to symbolize something or not.

I absolutely love Stephen King's books. I've read about 20 of them and the only one I didn't like was The Colorado Kid... so, which ones do you like and why?

I can't decide what to name my book.
It's all about a Batman-like viglante who is trying to bring Catholic Morality to the U.S. (No abortion, no Gay marriage etc) all the while protecting it from an organization that believes the only way to save america is through violenceand blood shed.

Any ideas for a title? preferably a nick name for the vigilante.
