I don't like any of that fantasy/vampire crap. I'm looking for something with a good story behind it. Something normal... not trashy.

I did enjoy "Opposites Attract" by Michelle M Pillow, and some of the Nora Roberts stuff is pretty good. I'm looking forward to reading "Good in Bed" by Jennifer Weiner" just to clue you into my genre.

I'd like to get as many people's HONEST and SERIOUS input as possible to get a good idea of your viewpoints.
I read an article that talked about a woman "enlightening" others about the "dangers" of reading Harry Potter. I got fed up and did a survey... Only a few questions:
1. Do you read the Harry Potter Book Series? Yes/No
2. As a whole, do you like what J.K. Rowling has produced thus far? Yes/No
3. After reading any of the Harry Potter Books, have you wanted or concidered converting to Paganism, Wikki-ism(?), or joining a cult? Yes/No (please include your age (will only be used to distinguish age groups))
4. Has reading Harry Potter inspired you to read more, or has it aided your creative side? Yes/No
5. Do you feel that some of the concepts in Harry Potter are morally harmful? Yes/No, plus short description, please.
Personal Question 1- Do you think that Harry will die in book 7?
P.Q. 2- Even with Malfoy's hesitation at killing Dumbledore, do you think he's evil?
-Thanks

Abe, Winston, Teddy, MLK, JFK etc, what quotes help make you tick?

If so, which is your favourite?

Mine is a 'people's edition' of 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' by Lewis Caroll - 1896.

It's not the most valuable in my collection, or the oldest but it is the book that started me collecting and has beautiful illustrations. One of the oldest is a 'Chaucer for Children' - 1875.

As the mist lifted from the earth and the moon had finally set, stillness was in the air. No noise could be heard from miles around, no rustling was heard, not even a struggle. The sun was rising and the fields were surrounded with a purple light.
Everyone, suddenly, awoke with a start in their mind. A start of happiness, knowing that the night was over and a new day had come. Then they all went back to sleep. All, but one. And she was waiting in the cold mist for the sun to arise, and to bring its infinite glory upon the earth.
She looked out to the sky and saw the purple, the pink, the orange, and the blue. She felt the wind of the great autumn day. The golden leaves flew around her face, flickering in the sun's bright colors.
However when the sun was still coming, it stopped in mid air. The leaves fell immediately. Neither wind nor noise could be heard. Not even a hint of sound. It was as if time itself had stop.
The girl went back inside the castle to find some one to explain this new thing. But try as she might, she could not awake any of them. She ran into the great hall. There she saw a horrible thing.
All around her were statues of guards and men. She looked closer at one of them, and saw that it had color. She touched it's armor, it was cold yes, but as she looked closer, she could she her reflection in it. She then touched the hem of its sleeve. It felt like her own garments. She then touched his face. It was warm and yet ever so cold, like he was frozen. She looked into his eyes.
"Darald?" she said catching her breath. She had one more test for him. She put her ear on his breast plate. Nothing, not even a heart beat. She backed away, her face pale. She guessed what could have happened, but she had to be sure. She instantly ran of, down the hall. Faster, faster. After all no one could stop. She ran for about a minute, when she came to the great gardens Naradomon.
These were most beautiful gardens in all of Land of the Things. There were flowers in all different colors and sizes. Blue Palmadors. Green Jeffrons, and Purple Catalacts. It was also had bushes each bearing a different kind of fruit. There were Purple berries, Orange Blossoms, and Plum Breaches; all of which had a wondrous perfume in each of them. But there was no time to look at the wondrous garden.
Instead she looked up at the clock. It was a second until seven. She waited. Nothing happened. She waited for 5 hole minutes, but still nothing happened. Why wasn't it midnight yet? Now she understood. Time itself had stopped. What was she going to do?

I have watched a few documentaries about it and just recently saw the movie (which was horrible by the way). And I want to know more about the facts, what really happened. Who she was and details about the crime etc. I know there are alot of books about it but which are the best? I want to read facts, not fiction.
