Hi,
My friend is going abroad in few weeks and I won't see him for one year. I wanna give him a gift just to make him not forget me. As usual, I have decided to buy him a book, because books have so much to tell. I'd like to give him a book, which would help him in the future life, something with an IDEA. Something for the days when one feels blue or needs advice, but there is no one around. I consider buying something by RICHARD BACH, but I am not sure, which book of him is the best. Can you help me? Or what other book would you recommend me?

If so, are they trustworthy? If you don't know, do you know anyway to check?

I love to write and my dream before I turn 18 (I'm 13) is to be a published author, but since I am a perfectionist and can't stick with one thing I hardly ever see that happening. I always have book ideas and once I think of the idea I write a few pages of the book, then I think of another book idea and completely blow the other one away. So now, I'm stuck with about 40 unfinished books in my computer (I'm dead serious...). I just want to stick with one book and finish it without thinking of another idea or ignoring it....can you help me.....

Thank you sooooooooooooooooo much!

Unfortunately, due to the enormous volume of material sent in to our Children's department, Bloomsbury can no longer accept unsolicited children's manuscripts.

I just found that on Yahoo News and thought folks like me who wanted to know a little more about what happens after the last chapter might be intrested. What do folks think about the info in there not given in the epilogue?

I find it intresting Ron takes over for Fred as George's partner. And Harry, an Auror.... I wonder if Kingsley had something to do with that cause I got the feeling He'd have needed seven years of study. Same for Hermione with both the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and the Magical Law Enforcement Squad. Kinda wish Ginny's position on the Harpies had been given, but I bet Harry's a big Harpies fan since his wife was on the team before raising the kids. But I wonder who the grandson of Newt Scamander is and if we've maybe already met him. After a certain scene with Luna, I wouldn't be shocked if we've met him already.

Has anyone used DirectFreelance.com. For a $79 annual fee they send you projects to bid on. I am not sure how legit it is. Has anyone used it? Please don't direct me to websites about freelancing as I am wondering about this one in particular. Thanks

In with Snape's memories is the scene with him and DD where Snape accuses DD of raising Harry "like a pig for slaughter". Then DD says "Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?" to which Snape replies "For him?", conjures his patronus (which moves DD to tears as it flies away). DD says "After all this time?" To which Snape replies "Always".
Is Snape affirming that he has always cared for Harry?! Or what?

when voldemort and harry are in the great hall and talking and stuff right before voldemort dies, harry says that the Elder wand's true master is Draco Malfoy. I don't understand that. I thought that Dumbledore intended for Snape to have it and since Snape doesn't have it (because he's dead) that Harry would be the true master of it. How did Draco get to be the master of the Elder wand??

I wanna see Edgar Allen Poe turn into E to da A Ho! The Raven should shoot at the main character and the main character should be mourning 10 prostitutes because he wanted more money not because he loved them. The Raven should carry a gun, the main character should smoke weed and be a rich pimp! Instead of saying "Nevermore", the Raven should say "Hos Galore"
