Books & Authors - January 2007

I've noticed in a lot of the books ive read of his, he puts himself in the book.. In Sahara Dirk and Al are out in the desert having a campfire when Clive as a hermit searching for the Texas comes upon them and tells them of the ship (unlike the movie).

Or in one of his newest, Clive is a bus driver for a temple in Mongolia.

My sister thinks he has put himself in every book in some way. Is this true?

Does anyone know the source of this quotation. At first I thought it was from the Great Gatsby but I've almost ruled that out. Keep in mind, I'm paraphrasing and may have the wording off.
Thanks!

So I haven't seen any books that are really popping out at me lately, and I've got $70 at Barnes and Noble. Anyone read a good book lately that they can recommend?

I'm a writer starting out, I'm working on my first story, I'm not so sure about the first chapter... is it any good? Or does it need a change? Thanks in advance! :)

Chapter 1.
Why me?

I wish I could zap her away--- the new girl I mean, Vanity Fanigan is such a pain. I don’t understand why she even sits with us; she smacks her gum like a cow, and talks really loud like she swallowed a microphone. I mean, just yesterday, we were all three of us in the toilet: Me, my best friend Eileen Conner and that Vanity Fanigan, she was checking herself out in the mirror, suddenly she starts screaming, “OH MY GOSH!” I thought my ears would break; but she screamed, “LINDA!” even louder, there was no one else around other than us, so I really didn’t get it, but Eileen got it; she nearly laughed herself to death. They were both laughing like crazy....

The rest of the chapter doesn't fit in here, but if you like you could check it out at http://nadine-rymes.blogspot.com

I read a book for English Literature A Level in the late 1970's and would like to read it again. Unfortunately I cannot remember its name. It was about a village and all the characters in the village. it was a true account of the village and was considered by most of us to be decidedly dull. However I would like to re read it to see if the passage of time has made me more receptive. Can anyone help?

If you could write how Harry, Ron and Hermoine will end up in the future, how would you write it? My ending would have Hermoine becoming a teacher and marrying Fred (I love the way they banter back and forth), Harry becoming an auror and marrying Ginny and Ron becoming a famous Quiddich player and falling in love with another player on his team.

What would be your choice?? And would anyone of them die??

I sometimes speak and write in an articulate manner and forget that my respect for the English language is a lot less than the next person. I express my self in a way to seem a lot amateurish in the writing field and until now I have realized the damage it can cause to one’s reputation as a writer an I apologize to those who had to witness my broken tongue and thank the few who was unable to perceive my penmanship. Thank you.
