i am yearning, burning
for who i want to be
put on my real face
put on that dress for me

with my hippy this
and my boho that
i smile my crooked smile
and look with my feisty face

i shake my head of curls
i dare to to see the real me
look closer world
im still burning for who i want to be

I love reading books, and I could recommend tons to other people, but the one book, other than the Bible, that I say is a must read is definitely The Kite Runner. What is your must-read book?

Could we please have a rest from people telling us we are going to burn in hell unless we read the Bible and believe every word in it? No matter who asks the question, Can you recommend a great book to read?, someone is going to come along and shove the Bible at us. Please go to the religious section to do that, because if it keeps happening I'm going to start reporting people for religious harrassment. Do we understand that? Thank you for your co-operation.

I have read books with very little plot which were of an astoundingly high quality in terms of writing (to wit, Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast series), and I have read books with very busy plots and very little skill ( eg. Da Vinci Code). Which element of a novel do you think is more important?

I moved on smiling


I can’t forget
The day you left me
It was so hard
Having to let you go
I couldn’t understand
Why it had to happen
Didn’t you love me anymore?

Why?
I kept on asking
I just couldn’t accept the truth
You are gone now
In her arms
Not in mine

You left me here
All alone and crying
I'm wondering
If you ever feel my pain?
When I fall in tears at night
Do you ever feel my sorrow?
When I want you near
Do you ever feel my longing?
I just want to know
If you ever regret on leaving me?




Then
I saw you
Happy
And smiling
And laughing
Then I understood
You never regretted anything
I was foolish to wait
To expect
That you still loved me
I can see

You love her more than I ever felt with the love you gave me

I finally realized
I could never have you back
But I told myself its ok
I should move on with my life
So I sealed the pain you gave
Deep within the darkness of my heart

Then the time came
And she left you
You came back to me
And said you’re sorry
You said you love me
And that you would never again go and leave

I stood straight
And looked at you
I stared at your eyes
And looked beyond
That pleading stare
Those sweet words
And your gentle touch

What I saw
I couldn’t deny
Behind all the things you’re pretending to be
I saw so much lies
You weren’t true
I could see
You were here
So just to hurt me

I stood straight
And smiled at you
I told you I’m sorry
I could never take you back
I could never again
Let you stab my heart

I turned my back
And walked away
I left you standing
With a blank look on your face

And as I walked slowly
Away from you
I walked with a smile
I walked with confidence
For I knew I left you feeling lost
Wrapped around the same coldness
You left me with

As I left you
I didn’t feel anything
Not even a little hurt
Cause I know I’ve moved on
And I’m proud of myself

There’s no reason to look back
I told myself
Cause we’ve already reached
The last page of our story
Were I left you
And moved on smiling.

I read it a while back cant remember it anymore.
It was about a girl who travels to a parallel universe where she meets a guy who helps her close the portal which lets you cross to other worlds. However there are deamons or something in it. These things are little animals that are born with you and cant be seperated from you. They are like your soul or something. Each resembles the kind of person you are. And this girls is seperated from her. This is all i can remember. Please help?
P.S Sorry for the bad Spelling

Maybe something for a jaded agnostic with a touch of existentialism. Any genre will do.

In your opinion what would you consider to be the perfect length for a book. You could answer in pages, words, chapters, or anything you like.

"Was I ever crazy? Maybe. Or maybe life is... Crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever."
from the movie "girl, interupted"

I have been working on my own website since spring. It's to promote my books and other work. I'm not computer savy & I can't afford to pay somebody to manage it for me, but I try. I'm getting tired of the look but then again I see it every day. Visit www.maryquast.com . Any suggestions?

I don't like sci fi. I just want something captivating. I don't generally like to read much so it has to be good.
