Hey everyone. Have you ever read A Separate Peace, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Ethan Frome or The Crucible? Then go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDejcJ0Noc0 and then watch the second half: American Classic Part Two, you can find it by searching for Ethan Frome. If you've read any of those books, you'll appreciate the humor, methinks. So....tell me what ya think, mmkay? This was a Junior AP English project, by the way. And we got an A.....plus. For sure. Thanks for watching, hope you like it!!

Jamie thought that when they moved it would be the worst thing of her life, because she had just made new friends. She was always moving because her dad was always getting stationed in new areas. The housing was pretty nice, but nothing really different than what she'd seen before. Everything was basically the same. The second day there she decided to take a look around, maybe check out the stores on the base. As she walked out, not looking where she was going, someone walked right into her, or more like she walked into them.
"Whatch where you're goin'" an deep accented voice said and when she looked up she saw a boy with dark brown hair, clear blue eyes, and a Stetson cowboy hat on.
"You live here?" she asked him, knowing the answer was probably yes.
"Yeah. What's it to you?" he wasn't the nicest guy yet, but with time she felt they could be good friends.
"I'm new here and was wonderin' if you could show me around some." she said hopefully, with a smile on her face.

a) The Barney Mystery series.

b) Where The Red Fern Grows?

c) The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

These are one of the few great books of my childhood. And just remembering the good old times too. If you ever read any of them what did you think?

I have a 1859 copy of a German prayer book Called "Himmlischer Blumengarten". It may be water damaged, or it might just be it's age. but the print is still completely clear, there are no pages stuck together, no smearing, and the print is darker than in any book you might buy today. I was wondering about how much it might be worth?

The following is hand engraved on a window in my home in Berkeley, California:

"A house for wisdom, a field for revelation.
Speak to the stones, and the stars answer.
At first the visible obscures: Go where light is."

There is an author indicated (well known) but I cannot find this poem (or excerpt from a greater literary work) referenced or attributed to this person beyond my window.

According to the owner, this was scratched into the glass sometime in the early- to mid-sixties. I don't want to reveal the source as I would like untainted answers. Flex your prose skills on this one, I am curious to see what people come up with...

I am looking for two books. One is about a boy who runs away from home and ends up living rough near Kidderminster Safari Park. At the same time a leopard escapes and it kind of ties the two runaways in together. The other book is about a teenage girl who falls in love with a guy called Paul Devlin (nickname Dev) who is in a rock band. It is a typical story about teenage angst and I need to find a copy.
