You know how people will say something like, "Oh, yes, Tale of Two Cities, what a great piece of literature, it was really..." and go on about it and the like...now, how many people do you think actually know what they're talking about and/or actually liked it? Does anyone, or are we all just supossed to so its like an unwritten rule that everyone pretends to like it? Many of the 'classics' that no one shuts up about (nor understand) I think are pure garbage. Others are great. What do you think?

some books are uplifting, others make you feel sad, some informative, life-changing even, some make you laugh, but which ones really made you angry and why? Did you ever throw it across the room for instance?

I know nothing about the authors of any of them. Nor have I read any reviews of the books themselves. I just grabbed these 3 at Borders today off the sale table because I needed something new to read this week.

Tell me what, if anything, you know about these.

1. The Bright Forever by Lee Martin

2. The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards

3. Julie and Julia -My Year of Cooking Dangerously by Julie Powell

Thanks!

What is the next line to this nursery rhyme? I think its one thing; my fiancé thinks I'm crazy but he doesn't know it either.

'London bridge is falling down
falling down
London bridge is falling down
My fair lady.'

Is "My fair lady" the next line or not? I think it is but not sure.

Not your favorite book.

Your favorite title because of how it sounds or what it means or whatever reason.

Mine is "The Alchemist".

I need a book on Mursili the Third of the Hittite, Empire Anatolia. I need something other than the manga Red River so if anyone knows where I can find a book solely based on him or even has him in it for a chapter, I'd deeply appreciate it

His ideas are good, but I felt his characters, style and execution were boring, overdone clichés. Anyone else?

Sonnet 30
Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution’s power,
I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
Or trade the memory of this night for food.
It well may be. But I do not think I would.

Edna St. Vincent Millay
