I am trying to remember the title of a book I read a few years ago. It was about an obnoxious overweight American who worked as a hotdog vendor, and kept eating all the hotdogs. Obviously there was more to the story than that, it was really funny. I wanted to recommend it to a friend but can't remember the title.

Has anyone read the book Dead Connections by Charlie Price? I would like a good and accurate description of the character Murray, the person who contacts the other side in the story. I would appreciate it very much. I just want a general description, one that tells me his personality and his emotions.

I count many influences, but mainly: Philip K. Dick, Larry Niven, Michael Moorcock, Harlan Ellison, Fritz Lieber and Roger Zelazny, with a twist of Lovecraft, a dash of Poe and a smidgen of John Cleese and Eric Idle. Who are your influences?

First let me be upfront about the fact that I have not read this book. I have read a lot about the book though. Most likely it is not right for me to give an opinion on a book I have not read and it is very possible that I have the wrong idea about this book, but here we go anyway. From all I have read about this big “Secret” I see one main flaw. It has people shining like a sun instead of shining like a moon. Let me explain. I believe it is wonderful for us to want to shine. As a follower of Christ, I understand we were created to shine and to walk in glory for all to see. To many times we get caught up in talking about how bad we are as sinners and though it is true we are all sinners by nature, it is also true that we created and meant to shine. I also believe in the power of our words and a positive mind-set. The Bible does back this up by teaching us that we have not because we ask not and ask and you shall receive. So why then do I not want to throw all my chips into The Secret? The flaw that I see in what this book is advocating is that YOU can get what YOU want as long as YOU change the way YOU think and YOUR attitude. You, you, you, you! It seems all about you and you are the source for your life! That is a scary thing for us all to buy into. But you say that is sounds like the same thing as “ask and you shall receive”? Maybe on the outset but the main difference between the two is that the Bible teaches that WE are not the source of what we receive. The Father gives us this shine, it is not our own. We should shine, but like the moon and not as a sun. The moon at times shines so bright that you would think it has its own source of power. It does not. Its shine is only a reflection of the Sun. Without the Sun there can be no shine for Mr. Moon. From what I have read about this book, it has many moons walking around thinking they are the Sun. And from what I understand, that many Suns running around will only lead to one thing… destruction! That many Suns around will end up burning us all to the ground. When you shine like a sun you think like a sun. You think the universe revolves around you instead of seeing yourself as just a part of the bigger picture. If we all walk around with the universe revolving around ourselves just wanting what we want and taking all the credit for it, we are bound to crash into one another. As well, if all of us are running around believing that we hold the power on our own and are not humble but instead just worrying about being self serving, we have missed the point of life. Friends, there is no “Secret” here; it has been out for 2,000 years! I do agree that if you ask you shall receive. But do not forget the conditions that are stated in the Bible before that statement is made. It starts by stating that if you keep Christ in your heart and then ask, you shall receive. Because then you know you should not get the glory for what you have received, He does! So I say shine! But when you’re shining remember your source and He is no secret. I love you all. God Bless you my fellow moons!

O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go,
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, Slow!
For the grapes' sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost -
For the grapes' sake along the wall.

Dean Koontz is a psychological thiller writer, the best in my opinion. He has a talent for taking three stories and weaving them into one. If you haven't read him you should.

Excerpt here from the beginning of a low-magic, modern-day-setting fantasy novel I'm working on. I know the writing is clear, and so forth. I am curious if it grabs people to keep reading, though. Please note a bit of cursing (including one F-bomb), a matter-of-fact protagonist thinking about sex ('screwing'), and a bar setting to the scene, if any would offend you. The story is pitched to adults/mature teenagers.

I'm also nervous about using the term 'gypsy,' given that it's inaccurate and un-PC, but decided to run with it as it's what the female character would think, not Rroma, and it's her voice in this opening bit.

Yes, pretty self explanitory. I'd like to hear what others got out of the novel and what Jane Austen was trying to get through the characters of the novel.
