Not to be critical, but I am seeing a lot of quesitons concerning those who apparently want advice (and it's always incorrectly spelled "advise" when they use it in a sentence) about publishing a book, or getting an agent. I notice that the words in these questions are frequently misspelled, the grammar is atrocious, and sometimes the question is not even comprehensible in the least. Also, sometimes they say they have had three or four books published and are looking to publish another one. Where in the world are these people (some of whom cannot even seem to write a comprehensible question) going to get these books published and who would publish them? Certainly not an actual book publisher whose books you would find at Barnes and Noble or Borders. I did click on a link with one of them, and it took me to a site where this person's book appeared. It was literally awful, with spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, and more. Nothing made sense. What's going on here?

Mines would have to be [other than ''Picture of Dorian Gray''] would be either ''The Ballad of Reading Gaol'' or ''The Importance of being Earnest'' [play].The ending for ..Gray was horrible but fascinating and it was drilled in my mind for days.The ballad of readin gaol made me feel pitiful for the author and had a sense of hopless tragedy,but very poetical,and i love he compares things![ex:''..poison weeds bloom well in prison air, it is only what is good in man, that wastes and withers there.''].The Importance of being Earnest was really witty and had Wilde's famous blunt sarcasm.Loved it,very amusing.

He writes about his hometown and their secrets. Someone dies and he has to go back for a funeral and face everyone he wrote about. It's fiction.

That Is My Alltime Favorite Book, i've got to have read it hundreds of times. (well, not so much, but i've at least read it 15...at least, i lost count after 6.) I'm literally in love with it. Are they're any people who know of a book similar to that or a brotherhood like that. Or if your and Outsiders geek like me, is they're any other books that you really enjoyed.

I've been wondering about a book I remember from when I was a child. I would have read it in the late 70's or early 80's. It was about a girl around 10-12 years old or so, she had silver eyes and possibly some sort of power. Other kids and adults as well all shied away from her and thought she was weird. They were also a little scared of her. I think she might have had some sort of psychic power, too. It was discovered that her "condition" was caused by some type of medication taken by her mother during her pregnancy. (Kind of like Thalidomide but with out the physical birth defects) They eventually found a few other kids like her.

Does anyone remember anything like this? It's driving me nuts trying to remember more about it.

I know it isn't the rhyme scheme, but there is something within the scene that shows that Shakespeare didn't write this. If anyone knows an answer is appreciated.
