With the growth of the internet, wireless communication, movies, video games, etc., do you think the book industry (fiction in particular) is on the downhill slope?

Might books simply transform to another medium in the future? If so what?

Or if you think they will disappear entirely, when do you think that will happen?

What do you think of it? And could you spot areas where I can improve ?

The light descended from the sky
A blinding white light; I lost all sight, I couldn’t see
Closer it came, more thrilling it became
Thrilling terror, I felt as it came upon my
Family, then, it came upon me

It covered me with peace, it ceased all pain
Ecstatic joy, Enthusiastic pleasure, a happy demise
Overwhelmed me with delight, Overpowered me with emotion
Captured, thrown into the rapture; excited, I forgot pain
And dismay as I was carried away, off to paradise

The light disappeared, I was alone
Not a soul was there, I searched everywhere
Quiet it was, as though no one had ever been born
Everyone had vanished and here I was, banished
Despair crept inside me, a numbing despair

I ran outside, to find anyone, I tried
Someone left behind, someone like me
Nothing was there to see or hear but a desolate silence
That echoed an eerie sensation; I cried
In desperation and distress and as a plea

A dreadful feeling descended upon me
Abandoned, I was, forsaken and mistaken
A dismal destiny loomed; I was doomed for eternity
Condemned, I lamented, I repented; worthlessly
Cast aside; everyone but me was blessed and taken

In the empty street, a gusty wind blew
Reminding me of the wound with which I cope
My spirit died, my faith dried and again I cried
And as I cried, into my view, as image flew
Of a holy place, I dragged my ragged self in hope

Once inside, I tore my clothes in grief
And I knelt before the idol in shame
Holding my hands apart, I screamed out my heart
Why, I cried as faltered did my belief
What have I done? No answer came

Hours passed; colourless and with agony
Sat a wretched I, Distraught as in vain I fought
A forlorn fate, I have fallen into; so damned I prefer
To die; Gloom filled my soul's hole as misery
Set upon me, cursing me for worst as I begin to rot

I can't be specific about subject, sorry... just can't.

Certain cards have been played against me. You could almost say these people are like the spawn of Satan in the way they wield their power and destroy lives. It was so cleverly crafted that it will take about 20 years (or executed tomorrow) for them to come to fruition and in the end it will leave me a broken man. It will take my worldly possesions, leave me in an old and crippled state. I will finish the last years of my life struggling and working like I never had too work, a loaf of bread and cheese will be a feast... and there is nothing more I can do too prevent it from happening....

what book, story would you suggest for me too read to try and re-center my life. (although I do love the bible....lets find something inspired by god and written by a poet or authors hand).

One of my favorite reads was, Les Miserable by Victor Hugo, what other books, poems, would you suggest?

MY MOTHER

My Mother . . .
There is no other like my mother
With her love like a feather
She would never let me wither.
With her care that is deeper
She would help me flower!
She taught me love . . .
By her gentle care, by always being there
By her awesome presence, by her kind words.
She gave me confidence . . .
By telling me im not alone, by giving me the courage to rise up from each fall
By her right judgements, by her praises for me.
She gives me knowledge . . .
By sharing her wisdom, by instilling love for reading
By books, by encouraging my talents.
She showed me GOD . . .
By the truth, by listening to her conscience
By her smile and by her sincere prayers.

the chime turned to a key but the door wont open? i got it from this:

If you go to www.jkrowling.com, click on the eraser and you will be taken to a room — you’ll see a window, a door and a mirror.

In the mirror, you’ll see a hallway. Click on the farthest doorknob and look for the Christmas tree. They click on the center of the door next to the mirror and a wreath appears. Then click on the top of the mirror and you’ll see a garland.

Look for a cobweb next to the door. Click on it, and it will disappear. Now, look at the chimes in the window. Click on the second chime to the right, and hold it down. The chime will turn into the key, which opens the door. Click on the wrapped gift behind the door, then click on it again and figure out the title yourself by playing a game of hangman.

Destiny

Movement slow
Or fast as it often goes
Fufillment lasts
But so many can forego
Its something small
Like a proposal
But weak
And tiny like a lone teardrop
Falling on a pillow
