Does anyone know what has happened to her and her book "Cruel World"? Her website lists it as a novel of hers, but I can't find any record of it being published. Her website seems to have closed in 2005 and she stopped writing her blog quite a couple of years ago. I'd like to know if "Cruel World" was ever published and if so, is it still in print?

I mean the translated version into English by Allen Mandelbaum, the one published in the Everyman's Library series by Alfred A. Knopf. I'm going to buy a copy to read, would some readers out there like to share your ideas/understanding with me? Thanks.

I read this alternative magazine, and noticed this book was advertised, published and for sale. It was called "Dummies guide to terrrorism" On the cover had a diagram of bomb making. Is this legal?

I was looking at an answer to a question i asked earlier and i need some oppinions on something.

One of the hardest things to do when writing a book is know what will best keep an audience. Sometimes you write a scene (movies are the same way), and then the editors go in and say .. this wont work... this is too much... this should be changed.

I'm sure authors think the same way.

But what is the best way? should I put in everything i can think of then send it to the cuting floor? or recreate as i go?

Has a movie or a book ever changed your life on any type of level, especially on a large scale? An actor/character in a specific movie is OK too. And how did this movie/book/actor/character inspire you and how does it change your life now?

Did you think the movies were good if you saw them? Did you think they left out any important parts? Did you like or dislike any changes they had made from the book to transition into the movie (i.e.- the "importance of Arwen"). Just want to see what others think out there. thanx.

Ok i think that HP is a horcrux 'Niether can live while the other survies' semms to be a clue to why LV would want to Kill HP. Maybe LV had something of Godric Griffindors when he was in the Potter;s house about to perform The Killing Curse. But the spell backfired and destroyed the last horcrux, LORD VOLDERMORT HIMSELF! But with the magic of the other horcruxs still in play, he was not killed. Yes i know that in The Half Blood prince, Dumbledore said that LV was the last soul they must attack, and that is y my theory makes sense! Ok now onto my other theory, the Death Of Proffesser Dumbledore. i think that PD was a pheonix animagas and is reborn in the 7th book since pheonixs rebirth a little after they die. Or Snape didnt really use Avada Kedavra on PD, but instead PD took the Draught of Living Death, then in the 7th book, Snape or Harry will find this out and shove a Bezoar down his throught. Also, Ginny will go with Harry even though they broke up. Feed back welcome. 10 points to best answer

I'm trying to write a book-like thing and I can't seem to come up with a title. So I decided I would use a title from one of my favorite songs tell me which one sounds more interesting to you or if you have a sugestion please tell me:

1. Someday
2. Savin' me
3. Far Away

I couldn't think of anything that was closely related to the plot other than those songs (not the videos) if you have a sugestion then please tell me. Although it would have to be kinda like those songs
