Rats. Maybe I shouldn't have asked this question. Now someone will steal my idea.

it's called something like "in the mind of -"
it has a guy's name in the blanks and is about some guy who a girl somehow get's in his mind and is able to see his thought.

i read the beginning of it which envolved him going somewhere and telling a guy about his experiences and why he had some random's girl's underwear.

i read this at some store and i totally forgot the name so i'd be extremely thankful if you can tell me what it's called. i've looked everywhere. i would go to the store but i don't live there, like where the store is.

HELP!

I've read it and thought that it was ok... However, during research, I found out so many interesting facts as well as lies. What do you think of it?

What do you think of his books, and of his insight on life in general?. Also, if you have read Slaughterhouse-Five, what do you think is the meaning of "Poo-Tee-Weet"?

There's a huge debate going on right now, on whether Harry's going to die or not. You can go to websites and get thousands of different answers. I've read just about every book published on whether Harry's going to die or not. The book comes out on midnight Friday, and I still have no idea whether he's going to live or not. A lot of people think that because there's going to be a theme park, no one's going to want to go to a theme park named after a dead hero. Is there an sufficent knowledge to whether he'll die or not?

1. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: remember the forbidden 3rd floor corridor that lead to the trapdoor where the Stone was hidden (and where Fang was, ready to bite anyone's head off)? Why was the door so badly protected that it could be opened with just Alohomora (a simple spell, at least to older students)? And don't say it's because our first-year heroes had to be able to get in or there wouldn't have been an adventure...

2. Why does Madam Hooch have yellow eyes?

Only three days to answer...

If I were to recommend books to you it would be "The conversion between Science and Spirituality" (it's called something like that) by the Dalai Lama, "Advice on Dying" by the Dalai Lama, "How to solve our human problems" by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. If you are interested in being a hard core buddhist, "The Simple Path" by the Dalai Lama is a great read too.


Any interesting books are welcome ^_^

Which one do you care most about Harry-Ginny, or Ron- Hermione. I care more about the Ron-Hermione relationship.

I have a friend that REFUSES to read the books or see the movies with me because he's convinced Harry Potter is connected with the Illuminati. I don't know if this is true and I don't really care, it won't stop me from reading the books or watching the movies, however, I would like to know where this assumption might come from. Is there something to do with magic or wizarding that would make one assume an Illuminati connection? I don't understand, someone PLEASE explain!

BTW... If you don't know what Illuminati are, please don't answer the question. I need an informed answer. Thanks!

I thought it'd be fun to see everyone's top 5 stephen king novels and then for everyone to say why their favorite is their favorite. So far i've only read carrie and cell, and am in the process of reading 'salem's lot.

I recently graduated my masters program and have had little time to read any books (other than those I was required to read) Does anyone have any reccomendations for any great books?

Many people seem to think there is "literature" and then there's "children's literature", and never the twain shall meet. I love to read. The foundation for that was laid when I was little, by reading lots and lots of stories. GOOD stories--because they had quality characters and plots--the same things I appreciate as an adult reader.
I've just been listening to a man on the radio talking about the desperate need to protect our children from scary stuff in books. While I think parents are absolutely vital in the process, by reading WITH their kids (I have a very bright and inquisitive 7-year-old), I also think that the idea that kids must always be shielded from anything disturbing is codswallop. Kids are fully-formed, real, entire human beings by the time they begin reading, and they feel all those forbidden emotions whether we give them permission to or not. Sorry for the rant--I'm interested in hearing other parents' and readers' perspectives, whether you agree with me or not.

ok, one of the main characters has a daughter, but the daughter was kidnapped by the natives on the island. Theo, the MAIN character, is planning to follow the guards back to the city after their meeting, but the king said that he would kill them if they went back to the city, but I can't let too many good things happen in a row until the end, because then its not so exciting. What should I do?

I want to read books that has a message to the world, something that the author feels he has to say to the world. I'm sick of books that is just a thriller story that you forget after reading.

I want to read a book that has meaning and will teach you something about life and will really affect you. Do you know where I can find those kind of books? Oh and I don't want bibles and religious spirit kind of thing, I want a fiction book or a semi-fiction. Please. Where should I look to find these kind of books?
