In Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 2, act 3, scene 1, the king has a soliloquy. It begins, "How many thousand of my poorest subjects / Are at this hour asleep! O sleep, O gentle sleep, . . ." At the end, he declares, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." My Web searches cannot find the source of the *extremely* widespread MISquotation above. I'm guessing there's contamination from the party game of "Heavy, heavy hangs over thy head" (see http://childrenparty.com/partygames/printversion/forfeits.html and very differently http://www.mythicjourneys.org/mythkids_oct06_halloween_forfeits.html ), but that's all it is--a guess. Web searches on "heavy hangs" "uneasy lies" head wear crown yield nothing useful.

I do not wish to bother her or take up a great deal of her time--I would be pleased with 5 minutes. I simply want to see her and personally thank her for her beautiful novel To Kill a Mockingbird.

seems to be that they hate him even though they have never read his books...maybe because he is a best seller author?

I'm confused. I'm asked to make a story outline of my work. When one means a story outline does that mean like a summary or does it have to be the structured outline with Roman numerals and ABC? help!

I am about to graduate from high school and head off to college in the fall, and I'd like to know from you bookworms: what are some of the books that you read at that time in your life, or wished you had read at that stage?

I don't read often, and I am now really starting to pick it up as a hobby. When I read books for school, I did it in somewhat of a "half-assed" way. I'd really like to sit down and read a great book without a pending assignment for class.

Currently, I am reading "The Virgin Suicides" which I basically just picked up in my house. I am considering also reading "Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf and "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand.

SO: Any suggestions?

Thank you!! :)

The best place to buy it, If y'all have one, is Costco. It's always cheaper than Wal-Mart and other book stores. My dad always bought mine from there, but I'm pre-ordering the 7th one from Amazon.com, so I can get it faster...

What are some good Alternate Endings?

You have to apply before you can join and only members of the group can see your stories. When I was accepted, Yahoo! Groups sent me a form saying that even though my story wasn't copywrited, it was still safe since Yahoo! Groups considers it copywrited when you post something through them. Even so... is this safe? I desperately want to be published someday and I know that to do so, I should NOT copywrite my story until it sells to a publishing house. However, I would be absolutely crushed if someone else published all my hard work under their name. What is the right thing to do in this situation?

I prefer authors like James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, and Richard Montanari. I am presently reading John Grisham's "A Time to Kill" (pretty good so far). Anyone have any suggestions that will keep the little bit of free time I have interested in a book?

One of my friends (she is an okay friend to me) wants me to go to the movies with her and A LOT of people that i know, but aren't very good friends with. I said i could go, she was happy b/c i turned her down on all the other things she wanted to do. I wanted to invite one of my friends so i wouldn't feel so left out. I was pretty sure she could go. She can't go. And i don't know if i should go or not. Please help me!

I really don't know where to begin... I read this book about 15 years ago so I guess it may have been around the year 1992 -- But I know for sure that the book was written at least 30 to 40 years before that.

All I can remember about the book it is that contained stories of Brer Rabbit & Tar Baby and that it also contained old spirituals or hymns. One particular song was about a patter roller.

It also contained many jokes and old southern recipes. I remember 2 of them. One of them was a joke about a blind woman walking past a fish market and the other was about a man and his friend talking about his wife.

I know this may not be alot of information but it is all that I remember. I'm hoping someone can help me because I lost this book years ago and have been searching for it for years.

Thanks
