OK....I have a dilemma, remember reading a story in elementary I think about (fictional) about how the government tries to create everyone equal, so they make good looking people wear masks and good dancers and fast runners wear heavy weights....and smart people get shocked every couple of seconds so they can't remember anything...then at the end of the story a good looking boy takes his mask off and unties a good looking dancers weights and they dance around....then out of no where someone comes in with a shotgun and shoots them. then some people watching t.v. seen that and had an idea but then they got shocked and forgot it happened and the world just continues as nothing happened? Does any of that ring a bell...I can't for the life of me find anyone who knows what I am talking about....

I'm planning on reading the unabridged version shortly (Modern Library Edition unabridged is 1488 pages according to Amazon.com). My lazy friend is currently reading the abridged version (Bantam Clasic Edition abridged is 531 pages). What's been "abridged out" of the 950 or so pages? Thanks in advance. Please give as detailed info as you can. I really want to read the unabridged version.

Ok, so in the story, the main character dies and finds themselves in a place that they think is probably hell. They meet up with some other characters and each have to go through trials and tribulations that make them fake their own inner demons. Ok so basically in the end they are let out of what seems like a long maze, find themselves on a completely different planet with a chance to start over.
Thats just the basic idea, I got it from reading a modern adaptation of Dante's Inferno. So tell me what you think, give me some ideas, change parts of it if you like.

I REALLY need some awesome book ideas for a horror. I can't seem to think of anything that will scare the pants off my readers. Any suggestions?

Can you recommend other writers I may like? Private eye, murder mystery, or old LA style stories are my favorites.

i have searched most (Brititsh English) dictionaries and wikipaedia (wikipedia) and found nothing but the initial explanation.

The "bone-setter" I am looking for, MAY be some sort of weapon? It is in respect of an 18th century woman who found journeys in her coach treacherous and therefore "found a bone-setter a necessary equipage for country visiting..."

If he's gonne write another book, it had better be as good as his works before State of Fear. I just miss the atmosphere of intrepid adventure and laced with science faction that existed in novels like Jurassic Park.

One of my past English teachers once said when you start out is good to send out you poetry to as many places so that your name will be out there.

I have some places but I would like to know where else I can send my poerty to.

Before I send any out what can I do to make sure that all legal rights are mine and that they all get copyrights?

365 days have come and gone
still we're here without you
and it just feels so wrong.
it's like we're living in 2 worlds
here on earth, alone
and with you in heaven, that's home.
but we don't know how to get there just yet
because i guess our time's not through
just know that when we can
we'll find our way to you.
and tho we cried and couldn't understand
when the angels came for you
we soon found peace in god's promised plan
for the heaven he had in store for you.
see, god couldn't wait to take you home
to show you everything
you'd never known.
to watch you run
on streets of gold
to see you marvel
at things untold.
to watch you
sing, and laugh, and play
yes, god chose that special day.
and when OUR time is finished
and through;
just watch--
we'll be smiling as god brings us home,
To You.....

Any book new or old, as long as it's non-fiction. Or come back in a day or so and check a good answer given by somebody else.

"Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings" I think Jane Austen said this, but I can't find the source (where/when she said it).
