I don't remember many details from the book. Here are the few i can recall - it's a suspense book. A boy and a girl [possibly brother and sister] are living with a man and a woman [i can't remember if the woman is their biological mother, but i know the man isn't their biological father]. The children are afraid that the man is trying to poison them in one part of the book, and they research different poisons and memorize the effects they have on the human body. There is another character in the book i remember - a young girl who had escaped from a children's correctional facility and befriended the boy. Toward the end of the book, the three children travel to an island [they ride their bikes to the edge of land, then a boat to the island] to escape the man, and he follows them there. I know this is EXTREMELY vague, but if it sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know. . . it's driving me insane! >.< Thanks for your time!

The story line, if I remember rightly, links the Egyptians,the Great Pyramid and its rituals with the Druids, Celtic Wiccan rituals, Stonehenge and Glastonbury.Avisit from the Eygptian priests. It's set in the old days and one thing I do remember is about a young lad going through a ritual which he had to stay in the hidden chamber inside of Glastonbury Tor. Also the Serpent Dance of Glastonbury , the link between the Egyptians and Druids and the base number of the pyramid and Stonehenge being the same. It's old.

I am looking for a novel that is very sad (either happy or sad ending is fine, just don't tell me which!).

I haven't found a book that made me really sad yet, so any suggestions are welcome.

(I've already read A Child Called It - I know some people will suggest that!)

Thanks for your help :o)

in contemporary literature, and in the media and social interaction in general?

Does this have something to do with the limited attention span of 21st century man? Is it related to Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? Can we blame it all on that and Ritalin? Does it date back to August 1, 1981, the fateful date when MTV began broadcasting? Or does it go back to the earliest sitcoms or the advent of television itself? Does it perhaps predate even television?

Please share your views. I am open to controversy, welcome it in fact. Is my supposition itself full of holes? Tell me so.

My main theme discusses dysfunctional families, but I need 3 more to tie in with the main theme. I was thinking possibly escaping reality, deception, controlling parents, any more out there?

I came across a site like that once a long time ago and I can't remember what it was. There was also a site where you could choose which attributes you want in a book in a scale, and it comes up with a list of books tailored exactly to what you are looking for. (Example, if you wanted a sad book that was inspirational but didn't have a lot of violence, you would choose those three on a scale). It was a really great site, so if anyone knows what it is I'd appreciate a link! Thanks!

It was probably 10+ years ago (?) Somewhat of a sci-fi futuristic type. A community of people whom the "government" had them on pills so there were no feelings. Some rebelled and were considered "outcasts" and fugitives? Sound familiar to anyone? Thanks for your help.

There is a book titled "Prepare for the Wolf" which discusses the 3 mind-sets comparing them to the choices the pigs made, straw, wood and brick. Looking at the choices you have made in life, if a wolf came would he be able to huff and puff and blow your house down? I am Robert Roots, the author of the book and I am surveying people to find out which pig they represent and why. Also, if you are not brick, what do you think the reason is and what can you do differently to be the brick pig?

Some of my favorite authors are Dean Koonts, Clive Clusser, John Saul, Steven King, Isaac Asimov, Kurt Vonnegut. If you think you understand what my tastes are, please recommend some other authors.

Thank you :)
