Hi,

I am a foreigner and would like to know and read American literature. While there could be hundreds of best-sellers accumulated for the last decades, I think sometimes those bestsellers could actually not be the best literature. Please list both fiction and non-fiction titles that are standouts either because of their writing richness or because of content. I am thinking in reading some of those and use them as material for my classes. I am a ESL professor in my country. I will do my best to get those titles thru ebay or otherwise.

Note: While I would love if the title is classified by fiction or non-fiction, or even ranked, a random list would aso do it.

Thanks

And that writers who write clear and simple prose are less smart?

And:

What's more important to you? Intensity of the prose (implying complex prose) or intensity of the drama (implying simple prose)?

I was first introduced to this in 1966 by a would-be suitor. In those days at the tender age of 18, I did not comprehend nor appreciate the premise of the book: One man, two women. I think the Protagonist's name was Lance? I can't remember the blond female's name but the timid and auburned hair girlfriend was Cinnabar. I think they were all probably in their late teens or twenties.......He wanted to convince Cinnabar that a threesome would be awesome. The name of the book was something like "The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Experiment"? Oh, please help me.....I want to re-read it with the wisdom of the last 40 years of my life!

What is your favourite childhood fairytale? and briefly why?

Riding through the dried woods of the Black Hills on a noble mount is an everlasting experience. A red-brown mare steadily making her way through the brush. Fresh pine needles, pinecones, maple leaves sporting autumn shades, and dried grass litter the dirt path. The rhythmic walking of the riding mount mixing with the gently cool breeze flowing through the trees. Twittering birds rush to and fro across the sky searching for sunflower seeds. Blue clouds heavy with precipitation gradually grow darker as they reach across the horizon. Evergreens mix with taller maple trees forming a barrier of safety. Squirrels leaping from tree to tree, collecting food for the winter to come. The entrancing smell of the sap mingles with decaying wood, fresh manure, and the promise of rain. The thick aroma of tree sap lifts into the air covering all it touches. The entrancing smell of the sap mingles with decaying wood, fresh manure, and the promise of rain. The silence is as enjoyable as a good book that you just can’t put down. Slowly the air becomes denser as the clouds prepare to release their burden. The sun hides its face as the dark clouds take over the sky. A cool breeze streams through the branches of the surrounding trees. A soft trickle of rain falls from the dense mass of clouds looming above. The birds dart for the cover of their nest, and squirrels find shelter in the trunks of the great maple trees. The rain falls harder and faster. The wet drops slide over the bare skin of the rider, creating a truly refreshing feeling. The pitter-patter of the rain echoes through the trees. The dried woods drink up every last drop the sky offered, and begged for more. Slowly the rain ceased to fall and the clouds floated away, revealing the brilliant sunrays once again.

A PUTZ! Harry is the laziest "hero", maybe ever.
Consider:
Voldemort was obviously advanced, even while at Hogwarts he researched levels of magic others didn't even know about.

Hermione does advanced magic by her 3rd year. She impresses faculty and older students alike

Harry's Father was an unregistered animus.

Snape was improving on textbooks and creating new spells as a student.

Even Fred and George do advanced magic for pranks!

Meanwhile, Harry and Ron: STILL cheat off of Hermione in their 6th year!

How about WORKING at your craft, since it's supposed to keep you ALIVE! Maybe even read "History of Hogwarts" or another book all by yourself?!

During his prime ( most if not all of his novels were serialized, that means they came out in magazines a chapter at a time). People waited with intense interest for the next installment. People on their death bed wanted to live just long enough to read or hear what happened to Little Nell. Not even soap operas or the old time cliff hangers had that kind of power. He got many of his ideas by walking for miles through the foggy, damp, late night streets of London. The man lived to write.
