what book do you think nobody should miss out on reading. It can be a classic or a new release, it doesn't matter to me.

Reading has taken a massive plummet!!!

More and more people are ignoring books, meaning Less and Less people are reading them. It could get to the point that books will cease to exist. This is disgraceful.

My question is what was the last book you read in each of these three sections:

Biographical/ Autobiography
Fact
Fiction

And also, do you think reading has dropped, or was it just in a loop?

Sonnet 30 by Edna St. Vincent Millay

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. I do not think I would.

Edna St. Vincent Millay was a playwright and a lyrical poet. Lyric poetry is a form of poetry that is of a personal nature. Rather than portraying characters and actions, as do epic poetry and dramatic poetry, the lyric poet addresses the reader directly, portraying his or her own feelings, states of mind, and perceptions.

a wall of stone and steel is all that protects my heart from breaking.
will it be enoutgh to keep the tears from running?
can it possibly be strong enough to keep me safe inside?
will i always feel the hurt of the world and want to run and hide?
can a wall of stone and steel keep me safe inside?
can it keep out all that would like to hurt me?
can it keep me from feeling?
a wall of stone and steel can't possibly save me.
is there a wall out there i can build around my heart?
is there to be some material out there to build such a wall to save me from the thoughts that would crush me.
a wall to keep me safe from the world that would love to crush me.
the wall that secures my heart is getting week and old.
soon it will fall and the feelings and thoughts will come crushing down inside.
my wall is soon to fall and all will be lost.
will i be able to survive?
could i possibly be able to build a wall more stronger than before?
a wall of stone a steel is protecting my heart from breaking.
but when another blow comes will it be able to stand or will it be no more?

This is a comedian, I think he's american but spends half the year in England....I’m trying to find a book he wrote about various stories. (comic stories)
One of them is about a frog that walks into a pub and spoils the joke because it spoke to the bartender….
Another one, about how it would be better for pubs in England to close later, and for arm stores in America to close earlier, cause you can’t find a pint after midnight in England, but you can buy a gun at 3 am in America… well there were other stories, these are just two of them in that book… sorry for being so… inexplicit!
I'm sorry, I don't even know the book title!

It's NOT Dan Brown, but it's like his books. The bad guy kills a Cardinal every hour, and the hero races around Rome trying to guess where the next place a Cardinal will be killedn (he's always a couple minutes late). In the movie, the hero ends up getting chained underwater in a fountain and has to escape. It's really gross, with Cardinals getting tortured and stuff.

I've been working on my graduate degree for the last several months, but the semester is coming to a close and I am going to have about four weeks to read whatever I want to read (rather than something I've been assigned to read). I will be on vacation most of the time I am away from school and will have plenty of time to read a good book on the beach. I really want to read a good book, something really entertaining and enjoyable. So, my question is what's the best book you have ever read? I've read everything Tom Clancy has ever written, the entire Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (highly recommended by my 14 year old nephew) and most recently "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. As you can see, I'm pretty much open to anything as long as it's not a college text book. So, any suggestions?

I read both the sequel and the prequel to the book- the prophet of yonwood and the the people of sparks. I want to write either a informative speach on DuPrau or better yet a persuasive speech on "The City of Ember". What should I tell people to make them want to read this book or her other books?
