I know of Lulu.com, but they don't publish anything that could be considered offensive. I have written a novel that is would certainly be considered obscene, but is not pornography.

I just read the book for the first time, brilliant, brilliant story. I can see why is it a classic. Im a poly science student and that was the best description of anarchist communism I have ever read, its so applicable to other countries as well and it really makes you think about the whole ideology it a different but simplified way.

Anyway what did you think about the book?

(This isnt homework help, I am just interested)

My story is set in the early Edwardian period. The question I wish to ask is, let's say the daughter of a clergyman becomes pregnant by some rake, she goes to her friend's house, which is located is a place far from societ, to give birth, and send the child away to another family, or something, in fear of being rebuked by society for her scandal. She wants to keep things secret. But then, the heroine's uncle finds out. What would he do? Would he, a religious man, allow the heroine to send the child away as a bastard. Or, would he tell her to take responsibility, marry the father, and give the child a name?

This leads to my second question. There are two men in the story: the rake, and the guy who really loves the heroine. If the good guy knew that the heroine had gotten pregnant by another man, do you think he would hate her-be disgusted of her and abandon her? Or if he continues to love her...would it be unrealistic? I want to be realistic, but I'm afraid that having the man

Think Tarzan, a story of a lone young human boy raised in the wild. Only this time, it's in the city in a post-apocalyptic setting where humankind is virtually extinct.

Raised by stray animals, he has to choose whether to be human and help save some animals dying out without the food that humans used to produce or let nature take its course in an urban setting where some species are bound to die out.

I'm going to Hawaii soon, and I'd like to read something really fun - witty, insightful, sexy, intersting ....

I've read "The Dirty Girls' Social Club" and I loved that. But dsince I don't usually read "chick lit" I'm hoping for some good recommendations for the beach - "quality" chick lit novels, if there is such a thing.

I'm looking forward to hearing your recommendations.

I was in 4th grade and this was 35 years ago.

They hid in the bathroom stalls before closing and slept in the museum beds.

If anyone has read this and may know the name of the book I'd appreciate it. I suppose I can always ask my librarian, or try to find Mrs. Williams from Parkside Elementry. Thanks

Thanks.

Dare to walk the path that is uniquely paved by you
Rejecting the criticism for being yourself
Because selling out was never an option

The right way is rarely the easy way
Yet its plunder is unfathomable

Who can light a match to those
Who go all the way
No matter what the cost
As long as it is right

Setting fame aside
And riches and favor
For true character and virtue

Staring into the eyes of fear
With courage and peace
Knowing that even death
Can’t steal the mark you have made on the world
