Books & Authors - January 2007

I have too many to list, but right now I am reading "Even Cow Girls Get the Blues" by Tom Robbin. It's not my favorite, but it's pretty damn good.

I'm trying to find a good book that I wouldn't be able to put down because it's so good. I like books such as Requiem for a Dream, Party Monster, Fight Club, and the Shining. Also, I want to know which Hubert Selby, Jr. books I should read. Any suggestions?

just 3 questions im not sure of any help is greatly appreciated.

Identify the speaker of this quote: "You'll get back to where you came from."
Ralph
Piggy
Simon
Jack


27: Why is the action of the story increasingly taking place in the near darkness or in the deep night when only the moon and stars give little light?
It is cooler at night and the boys have given up working during the day because of heat exhaustion.
The boys feel more confident at night because the beast cannot see in the dark
The setting is being used to emphasize the conflict between good and evil with the archetypes of light and dark
None of the above

It is a book club for high school students and we want to read classic books for college-bound kids. The three we have read already are "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fennimore Cooper, "Summer" by Edith Wharton, and "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. I'd appreciate any suggestions or lists from other sources. Thanks!

The Composition

My hands flow over the keys,
Testing the chords,
Decding what I want,
This composition to say.

Surroundings and myself,
Join as one,
As the music plays,
As I find the expression.

The pedel is pressed down,
To hold onto that one note,
The lovely moment lasts,
To emphasize that some part of my composition was pleasent.

One hand moves quickly,
At the same time another part of my body,
Moves slowly, doing other things.
And they weave to form the music.

Some of my composition,
Is slow and sweet,
Others deep and angry,
As I sit and tell a story with my hands.

Some people adore my piece,
Others detest it.
And yet the composition does not change,
It is the same combinations, confident in itself.

Oh, how this piano piece is so like life,
My compostion of emotions.
To be loved by some,
To have so many activites all at once.

The melody is simple,
What lies beneath different.
I can decide,
What I want my composition of life to say.
