Books & Authors - September 2006

sometimes I just want to spark up poor literature, I feel a great injustice when I waste my time with literary garbage, have you ever set fire to a book for any reason? or atleast thought about it?

I almost actualy threw up when reading joseph heller describe the wound of one of the soldiers in this novel.... I had to put the book down for a minute. I have never had such a reaction from a book and typicaly have a strong stomach for such things. Maybe its discriptive style, I don't know. It was a big suprise for me. Has anyone else ever had such a reaction from a book?

My daughter is seven years old and has been showing strong interest with putting together books. She creates her very own stories from her imagination. She gathers our computer paper, staples the papers together and writes her story on the whole page. She's very proud of her work and I was just wondering, does anyone have any simple ideas to encourage this? I was thinking about buying her some colorful string to bind the papers together, hole puncher, markers and special pens/pencils.

I write a fair amount, from stories, reviews for websites and also a bit of poetry from time to time. I find it easier to write from experience, do you think this is a good or bad thing in the long run.

To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of you hand
And eternity in an hour.

I've done the usual: press releases, sent review copies, etc. I've even done the unusual by creating a "movie trailer" for the book which can be seen here: http://www.perfectlysaid.com/eyesofthepoet.html

What else can I do to promote a new book? Any advice will be appreciated.

I am in the process of making my own homemaking website.

I began writing for another website a year ago and want to use the articles I wrote for this other website. I was paid 10 dollars for each article. I never signed anything and was paid by article. Since I am the author it is ok for me to use my articles on my site right? She just paid me to sell the articles on her site. People paid money to read my work. On the webiste the copywrite info says

All content on this site is copyrighted unless otherwise stated. No reproduction of any of the material, articles, tips, etc. may be used on any other newsletter, email, ezine, or any other form of reprinting this information for others without full credit of author and a link to the website where you found this information. I would also appreciate if you would send me a quick email telling me where and how this information is being share.

So from all of that do you think it is ok or do you know a website where I can find? thankyou

I have a great Idea for a film which I'm sure needs to be turned out as a book first, but i'm hopeless at writing is there anyone out there who would like a partnership - my ideas and their writing? my idea centres around the near future so a good scifi writer would be needed.

I enjoy mystery, suspense, chick lit, and I guess pretty much anything. The only genres I don't read are horror and romance. I've read all of James Patterson, Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben (and loved them all!) but, I'm kinda burnt out on reading all the same best selling authors!

I accidentally resolved this question when I asked it last night, and have re-opened it to get some more suggestions! : )
Thanks to all who responded!

My teacher is looking for a spring curriculum of good YA books that he can feature in an adult literature. He wants books that are interesting, good, and have "teenage protagonists." Thank you very much.

Back in the early 90's, I came across a book series about a group of teens who rode dirtbikes in a post-apocalyptic America. I'm pretty sure the books were printed between the early and late 80's. I do know that in one of the books, the teens discovered a mall and went inside to explore. Can anyone help?
