Books & Authors - December 2006

I got the idea from the upcoming Die Hard 4 (Live Free or Die Hard)..

and want to write it.

a 16 year old kid is the best computer hacker on earth.. he has robbed banks, hacked airports, government buildings and much more right from his own computer.

But no one has ever caught him.

He is employeed through different ways by a dark group with unknown motives hidden under the disguise of a computer company.

When they ask him to hack the Department Of defense mainframe and nearly cause a disaster, he gets caught.

As the FBI prepares to put him on trial, the group needs him back.

And they have the second best hacker under employment.

Now as the US falls hostage to attacks that are crashing planes, banks, government installations and more, the government will have to call on the kid to stop him.

I need to cover the whole book with my thesis, not certain parts of it. If anyone has any suggestions on even what to think about when writing a thesis that'd be great. I can take it from there.

P.S.
I know that the book talks about plenty of things, and that he primarily reacts against Leibniz, but my teacher keeps telling me that really he is saying "work out in the garden" as opposed to all this philosophizing which leads to nowhere. I however find that he's satirizing human foolishness in general, making fun of philosophy, church, armies, and love. I think he is saying that this world could be the best of all possible worlds if people actually went out and stopped doing things that don't benefit people.

When Romeo reads the list of those invited to the Capulet party, he sees that Lord Capulet has included "My fair niece Rosaline."

Wouldn't this make Rosaline a Capulet? Is this why she has spurned Romeo? He doesn't list that among his complaints about her behavior in his conversation with his cousin Benvolio. But wouldn't she be in the same situation as Juliet--mortal enemies with his family?

I've always wondered about this.

By the way, in the F. Zeff. 1968 production, isn't that Rosaline at the party we see just before Juliet steps in? I love the way the music builds as Romeo is looking at this girl (Rosaline?). She suddenly steps out of the way, and he sees Juliet behind her. The shift is clearly marked with an abrupt change in the music.

Thanks for helping me clear this up.

I want to read a version that is english but still close to the original. I dont want the versions that are easy to read I feel that reading dumbed down versions of classics books helps no one.

This book is not illustrated, rather it is a picture book done with an actual teddy bear and real surroundings. Of what I remember, the book is about a bear who decides to make cookies because it is a rainy day. He also makes a mess in his kitchen. This is a fairly dated book, probably done in the 80's or early 90's. Any suggestions would be lovely!

This novel is mainstream fiction, psychological/spy/action thriller. The main character has dual personalitys. One is causing the espionage, the other is forced to stop it, or the world will be destroyed. I won't say whether the original character is good or bad, but I will say that the mission cannot be accomplished unless the main character dies. Tell me if you like this and WHY. If you have any other suggestions, please list.

Psychotic Espionage: The Third Entity

Note - this is my completed novel that will be copywrited.

Seems to be a question that's been asked before, but I don't care, I'm curious enough to spend five points on it...What books (up to five, or more if you have 'em) have you read this year that you've really enjoyed, and why?

Not "The Dude Rancher," which is another one of his titles. A book specialist told me that a book by the name of "The Dude Cowboy" was inaccurately credited to Zane Grey in the 30's or 40's, then taken off market, but I simply can't find any other information about it. My grandfather remembers the title and synopsis from his teenage years and swears it was by Zane Grey, and I would love to find it for him (regardless of author). A quick synopsis: a rodeo cowboy finds himself in over his head when he gets work on a ranch. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Richard Connell passed away in 1949, and I'm not sure if his works are in the public domain at this point. I would like to know if anyone knows who owns the rights to the story, mostly who owns the film rights.

So many people ask what good books are, so I'm looking for a list of books to avoid.

Please list books that you've read at least half of, so I know if it is genuinely bad and that you didn't give up on a great book.

How many people actually read books, because I know people that have never read a book (aside from being made to in school) in their lives!

I have read a loads this year, about 15, which for me is great. I have just finished 'A place called here' by Ceceila Ahern and am re-reading 'Stranger with my face' by Lois Duncan, which I read as a teenager! But by far the best book this year I've read is 'Where rainbows end' also by Cecelia Ahern.
What do you think is the best book you've ever read?
