I know that authors will send you copies of heir books to get an opinion from an avid reader....I just don't know where to look. If anyone does this or knows how to get into this please let me in on the fun. I am an avid reader and just think it would be interesting to see books before they go to the publisher. I'm not looking to proofread, although that is an option too, I just want to give helpful information to writers before publication. Only serious answers please.

If you've read the books carefully, you might have some ideas for plot points that should be expected in the last book. Care to share? Your reward will be the smug feeling of being smarter than the average reader.

Lets keep things in the real or plausible in terms of not violating the established plot, inventing new characters or just repeating things done in earlier books.

Example. We will see a final revelation involving Snape. We expect Wormtail to have to repay his life debt to Harry... I personally expect Harry to "inherit" certain possessions of Dumbeldore's, possibly including Fawkes and/or the penseive...

Give me your best!

OK, here's a halloween-y type question!

What do you think happened to Ichabod Crane? Was he taken by the Horseman? Did Brom kill him? Did he fall of the horse when the saddle came off...and if so, had he been knocked unconscious by a the pumpkin? Did that kill him? Was his death an accident, part of a prank by the mischievous Brom, and something that went teribly wrong? Is Ichabod even dead at all, or do you think that he ran away from Tarrytown forever? Was the Horsemen real, or was it Brom? And if it was Brom, did he kill him or not?

Opinions about the ending of the story...? :) Please give your reasons for them, too!

I consider myself a good reader. When it comes to philosophy, however, i read 5x less the speed i normally do. It is hard to understand because it seems the author's writing is stilted and extrememly bombastic. It just seems like he could simplify his abstruse writing into more laymen words. It doesn't have to be like Dr. Seuss laymen, but something less high-flown. I feel like the way he writes sounds like incoherent drivel or rants about something that is interesting. I really want to learn about his philosophies and his opinions on pseudo-intellectualism, but his arcane references to something that doesn't seem relative to the topic obscure his point. Maybe its just me. I was just wondering if someone could offer some tips on how to read philosophy. Is it ok to read it slow as molasses flows? I put this book aside for awhile knowing that i couldn't handle it's complexity, so i try to hone my reading skills. I felt i have made a dramatic improvement. Also, what are humanities?

Especially where the message was throughout the book and you felt it was speaking to you or for you.
