Books & Authors - February 2007

There is a book I read in high school english and I can't remember the name or the author. Please it's driving me crazy! I don't remember exactly all the details but I do remember it was maybe early 1900s a wealthy white family. They had a african american "helper" who had a bit of a mental problem. One night the daughter of the white family got drunk and the black man was trying to keep her from waking everyone and he accidentally killed her. He didn't realize what he did was wrong but when he did, he tried to cover it up. That's really all I remember from the book, so if this rings a bell with anyone PLEASE let me know.

I am 17 years old right now and always loved writing. I am thinking of sending a manuscript to a publisher, and I was wondering the format that is the best. Is fourteen pt. Times New Roman ok? 12 pt. always seemed to small to me, and Courier is just ugly and thin. Also for those of you who are published professional writers, how does your office/workspace look? Also what is your schedule for writing? Like time you wake up, etc. Just curious. THANKSS!

I am devoted to writing and need new ideas fast! I love to write about fairies, Elves, and magical worlds. I'm working on a few novels, and need ideas on creative plots, because I can't think of any swashbuckling and adventurous ideas at the moment!

Carry On

The fire within, how brightly it shines
Flickering madly, and growing with time

Tribulations come about, building character, depth
May hope abound until your final breath

Walk the path that nobody leaves
Abide in your toil until you’re relieved

With the cross that you bear write your name in the sand
Though your arms grow weary may your soul firmly stand

Can anyone recommend some good CONTEMPORARY Chinese novels? I am particularly interested in ones dealing with the Cultural Revolution. (If a movie was made of it, I already know it ... To Live, Farewell My Concubine, etc.etc.)

P.S...
I mean novels translated from the Chinese, novels written by Chinese authors. .. not novels about China written by American/English authors...

Almost every day now I hear someone at work, on the train, on the street, or a friend of mine asks me, about the latest episode of "Lost", or "Battlestar Gallactica", or "Dancing with the Stars", or "Survivor", or "CSI", etc. Am I the only one who doesn't spend all my time watching tv? Though I've seen all the above shows at least once, I just can't bring myself to watch any of them on a regular basis. I don't see anything compelling enough or done well enough for me to want to watch week after week. Do people buy into the reality of it all?

I guess I read more than watch tv, but for some reason I feel like when I read a book about something I learn more than watching tv about something. Generally speaking books provide more detail and depth on topics, so why would I want to watch the same thems on tv when I could just read a book that will explore a topic better?

I don't know, HELP!
