Books & Authors - August 2006

I used to have a book, years ago called 'The tombs of' something I think. It was a fantasy fiction about a young man who was on a quest to find something and had to go through a maze of underground tombs or something similar. I remember enjoying it so much, and would love to read it to my kids. Any ideas on the title, so I can search for it?

Sorry can't remember much else about it, there was a girl in it, and special powers were involved, the front cover was very celtic looking and there were drawings in the book with diagrams.

I am a fan of Othello...not just cause I am a brotha, but because of the pure evil and rage that burns within Iago...I mean, he really had it in for Othello, and for what reason?? I think this is one of the great Shakespeare mysteries....What yours??

I checked out books from the library and had them in the car to be returned, all bagged together, I count each one and went through my check list of all the books I had checked out. But my mother returned the books for me, and now they are saying that I did not return 2 books, which I know for a fact where with the other books, all bagged together, There is no where eles for them to be, I am sure of it, and the library is charging me daily, How do I disputed their charges, and prove that I dont own them any money for books I know where turned in. and How do I find out how many copies of the books they had a the library. Any advice would help thanks

What is the significance of his death on that day AND the reason as to why the store had all the lamps lit, all music boxes opened, and all the clocks striking an infinite hour? Is there symbolism here?

Would it be sick to put a character extremely similar to yourself into a story and give them a different name?

I don't think it's just a way to start out, since it's easy to know yourself. It's also fun to put a character representing yourself in an adventure where they get to come out on top, isn't it?

But should it be considered creepy or sick, or maybe even egoistic?

My story is about a 22 year old slacker with no direction in life. He just got fired form McDonalds and is now on a quest to find a 10 year kid who didn’t get the right toy in his happy meal. Zach Fitzgerald is an Eternal optimist. Or so he thinks...

This is the first paragraph -

My day is divided into 4 equal parts. Wake up – Part 1. Go to work Part 2. Jerk off – Part 3. Go to sleep – Part 4, all taking up equal parts of my day. When I wake up, I’m not surrounded by the smell of Foldger’s coffee in the morning or the feel of my 7 year old kid jumping on my stomach. I wake up to a godforsaken alarm clock blaring and a lazy dog licking my big toe. It’s really amusing if you think about it. Showering is probably the only time I have to myself, the only real time I get to reflect on the future. The future being McDonalds, under priced hamburgers are my calling. I’m 27 years old, no child, no wife, and no friends, and I couldn’t be happier.

I apologize for the vagueness, I don't think the characters are given names. There is some kind of significance with birthdays and it's like the children go to a trade school where they are told what they are going to be and then practice and learn their trade from there. I don't think they are allowed to communicate between genders. At the end there is one man who holds all the memories of time that other people are not allowed to know and he is about to die or something so he is trying to pass them on. I also think they could not refer to themselves with I.
