Hermione studies harder than anyone else, and is the top student in her year at Hogwarts. She abhors the way house elves are treated, and tries to do something about it. She's got curly, unruly hair. She also doesn't seem to care about going home for Christmas. So, is she Jewish?

Does anyone know where I can find the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris? I love the books and have only read the first three, but I would love to be able to get all the books together, and finish the series. They are becoming my new favorite series.

I received through email, an ebook titled harry potter and deathly hallows containing roughly 290 pages the first chapter reads as "The Escape". The book is incomplete. The last paragraph concludes with this:- "As they stepped back into the common room, Pansy rushed up to Draco and whispered urgently and Draco swore loudly. A second later his eyes squeezed tightly shut and his right hand gripped his left forearm as he dropped to his knees with a gutteral moan."
Please give me the link to this book. Whether this is written by JKR or not, it is very very interesting to read. Pl. help me!

Was the final battle Rabbit v Rabbit or Rabbit v Hare? I think it`s Rabbit v Rabbit, but a friend of mine insists it`s Rabbit v Hare. It can`t be Hare`s as they are really hard to draw, you try? There ears are too long and come off the end of the paper. Any animator would have had the same problem. Case solved!

I am looking for a book for a friend. He is in his late 20's and doesn't usually read, but is willing to read something I recommend. Considering he doesn't read, I don't really know what he might like. So I am looking for something you (a guy) might enjoy. Something easy, short, entertaining, but with a backbone. Thanks!

I don't read any girly-fiction, but apart from that I have a varied taste. From George Orwell and Jane Austen to Stephen King...
Any suggestions?

Who would you chose?
For me, it would be Stephen King. I would ask him where he gets his ideas from.

Ok so this is for a a university paper (childrens lit), a point in the right direction in finding scholary sources would be outstanding.
And not just harry potter, whatever book you think deserves to be given status alongside the alice of wonderlands and huckleberry finns of the childrens literary world.

I am a first-time novelist and an associate of mine has a manuscript, as well. I was wondering if anyone could advise me on the average/base price manuscripts sell for these days. My associate's book is a fantasy; mine is around the drama/suspense genre. My book is about 535-550 book-formatted pages and surpasses 160,000 words. I plan to study the market more at a later time but for now, what is (or is there) a general base average for manuscripts these days? Any links or misc. info would be appreciated greatly.
