I'm compiling a "Movies to Watch" list to start watching GOOD films when the mood strikes rather than take time to search for a good movie and then have little time to enjoy the film.

I also love having a list so I can have list of films I'm actually WAITING to see rather than a random flick.

I've heard that she stole the word "muggle" and a lot of other ideas. Anyone know where these ideas supposedly were stolen from?

When I was little I used to play games with my sister where we would be entirely different people. I used to come up with a lot of things to pretend. Now I write stories and stuff and was just woundering if you have a wider imagination if you play games like that when you were younger or are you just born with it?

Where do you begin if you want to become a travel writer and you don't have any writing experience or industry connections? Any suggestions? Is it best to take classes in writing or is this something that can be learned on your own? How competitive is the travel writing market?

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way..."

i read the book and chose to do my talk on it but when i try to sumarise the plot i kind of don't make sense but i know the themes: alienation, lonliness, relationships, lying, "phoniness", loss of innocence and adolescence but teacher said explaining them doesn't qualify as explaining the plot.

I don't have alot of extra money because I am saving for something but there are some books that I would really like to buy. Is there a good, but cheap place on the internet to buy books? It doesn't matter if they are new or used, just as long as they are in pretty good condition!

In today's society, reading is frowned upon. I ask the question why?

If you dislike reading, say so. There is no need to be shy- I value your opinion as much as my own.

The fantasy genre has definately become a favorite category for me to read and write about. The best thing about it is that you have no set rules to follow. It's your own story and anything goes.
After reading many fantasy books and playing fantasy games, I was curious about how much research they put into an animal. Some authors may create their own rules to the magical animal, while it looks like others have gone to fictional history books like Tolkein with Lord of the Rings, who have elves and dwarves with their own culture including language.
Either way, opinions?

it seems a bit of a con because the public beleive they are giving to charitys but most of it doesnt even go there, seems to b a bit of con really.

He has tons of notebooks full of poems. They're about every up and down in life. We don't want to spend a ton of money but I feel his writing has a lot of potential.

Somebody lost the only copy our local library had, and they said they'd reorder the book but it's been a month...
So, I was wondering if anybody could give me a brief summary of what happened so I can skip over the third and start reading the fourth. =) I've looked online w/ Google and I can only find summaries from the back of the book itself.
