Books & Authors - March 2007

Hi! Well, I was wondering if author J.K Rowlings is going to be here in any area in Los Angeles, California. To sign her last 7th book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" to her fans. To be honest, I ain't a Potter fan like you guys. But the reason I'm asking is because my Lady likes these books. She has all up to the 6th book. She told me she was going to get her copy on her own. But I want to get it for her autographed by J.K Rowlings herself. Please do tell me if she is to be around here in the Los Angeles area. I'm imploring you. This will mean a lot to me. Honestly. Thanks for droppin' by. Please do tell either way whether she'll be here in the States. I mean any where in the States. Thanks again. Peace!

Worldwide gross for movies:
Sorcerer's Stone- 976.5 million
Goblet of Fire- 892.2 million
Chamber of Secrets- 876.7 million
Prisoner of Az.- 789.8 million

The harry potter book series has sold 325 million copies, figuring these books on average cost about 20 bucks, 325 mil x 20 = 6 billion 500 million.

total gross:

around 10 billion dollars. pretty nuts.
what do you guys think?
(realize i know this is not ACTUAL profit, because i didnt figure in movie budgets and taxes)

I'm not talking about books where you don't like the genre or hate the author; I'm talking about mind-dribbling, nightmare-causing, IQ-decreasing books that should be burt, buried and sprinkled with salt on sight.

when they want you to die for profit they will let you know.

I'm trying to recall what this series is...
Basically it was about a girl and her sister who found themselves living underground with Goblins or something. THe goblins were "ugly", at first, to them, but eventually the girl married the Goblin King and they had a son, and adopted a strange human girl?

Can someone help me? I loved the first two books of this series...I'd love to find and read them again, as well as the ones that MUST have been released by now...

Thanks!

I need to read a book for my history class and write a paper. What book(s) would you suggest? Anything from Pre-contact times to the present is the timeframe (US history). That's about the only guideline. I can't choose! My bookworm brain has fried over all the possible choices. Anything history related is a plus. Thanks for any help!

Hi all you bookworms!

I'm looking for Adult (or Young Adult) fiction, perferably with a Fantasy spin.

I'm looking for something relatively long, also. (At least 250 pagesish)

I enjoy storylines with unlikely friendships, angst, or good twists. Even "mind-candy" is exceptable, as long as its well-written.

Some examples that I've enjoyed before are:

"Beauty", "The Gift" and most of Gaiman's novels.

Thanks for the help!

Back, I rise to the whistle of escaping steam. Boiling droplets spray my hand as I pour and I curse, my preoccupation broken for a moment. Carrying the cup back to the couch, I stop at the window, the deserted street reflecting the way I feel. I sit and stare past the commericial, the smiling model an alien to me. Finally the phone is singing. I grab the receiver before it is through: No, I do not wish to renew my subscription and indeed, there is a need to cry.

I just recently started reading some of Iris Johansen's books and would like to know about a series of books that she has written. I think that some of the books have "Wind" in the title, can you tell me the names of all of the books in this series? And also what order they should be read in?

I need an alternate ending for the play "Othello". It should be a good ending that leaves the audience feeling sad. Also make sure Iago(character) does not die, and that evil pretty much wins at the end. Please Include Details!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
