Books & Authors - June 2007

Naturally, I have my own biased favorites, but I'm finding the length of my sci-fi reading list shortening dramatically and was looking for some new disturbingly amazing novels.

And of course, science fiction is always the best. <3

Thank you for all of your suggestions/help!

but He won't read them, yet he keep throwing us theories of what he thinks will happen based on what he's seen in the movies.

So, what should I do? I don't want to spoil the books for him, but he really gets mad when his wife and I smile when he inquires on his own theories (and usually they're wrong), and that we won't tell him. Note: He is 33, and I am 21.

To set the stage: I'm writing my first novel... I have no formal training, but I do like to read. I think the plot is really great (it was actually seeded by a dream that I couldn't get out of my head!) and my wife has enjoyed reading the first few chapters, and is excited to see how the plot will unfold... (reading each chapter as it is written is a much longer way to read a story!) I don't expect to get published, of course... I'm mainly writing for the fun of it, and for the chance to escape for a while. If I ever get published, it will just be the icing on the cake.

(More details to follow)

On JK Rowling's site, she talks about how the Order communicates with each other. She said they communicate with their patronus's. "The Patronus is an immensely efficient messenger for several reasons: it is an anti-Dark Arts device, which makes it highly resilient to interference from Dark wizards." When Tonks sent a message to Hagrid, Snape was able to receive it and know what they needed (the gates open to Hogwarts) If Snape were a dark wizard, he wouldn't have been able to get the message.
(SPOILER of Book 6)The only other evidence I can find is, breaking an unbreakable vow will kill you. We know he made one with Dumbledore to obey him. He also made one with Narcissa to kill Dubmledore. So the only way he can live is if Dumbledore ordered Snape to kill him.
I personally can't stand Snape, he is awful person. What are your thoughts?

Tell me the title and author of a book that changed your life.
In what sense has it changed your life or view of the world? What makes this book so special?
Would you recommend it to others?
What genre is it?
Have you read other books from the author? Did they have a deep impact on you as well?
Your answer can include more than one book. I will be happy to read all answers (and maybe some of the books...) :))

I know security on the 7th book is like fort-knox- but then again spoilers like this have been leaked out before. Mugglenet got page scans of every chapter of Half-Blood Prince from an anonymous source over 3 weeks before it was published. This picture was featured in Wikipedia recently too. Is there anyone who can say for sure if its real or not? Thanks

Very few in my family read, and can't care less about reading. Not my wife, neither of my brothers, my cousins and so on. When I have family over and they sit in our living room surounded by hundreds of books, I sense that they get uncomfortable, for some reason, I'm not sure why. And its difficult to talk to them about my writing. I feel there is a wall between myself and the majority of my family and friends.
Is anybody in this situation? How do I reconcile my two worlds? What should I do?

I want to find a book (one single book) that contains every poem, story, book, etc. written by Edgar Allen Poe. If you know of one, please tell me the title, price, and store. I don't want to buy anything online. Don't answer if you don't know. I need to know soon. Thanks in advance. 10 points to the best, most complete answer.

It is so rare that there are NO other copies for sale on the Internet and is maybe worth around £1,000.
Do I sell it on eBay and take a chance, contact an auction house or what?
