How did hospitals treat people with mental problems? Were all the patients in one room with several beds? Also, what did they eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner at that time in the U.S.?

I have developed a book about auto racing that I would like to get published. My plan B is self publishing, but I'd like to see if a publishing house will accept it first. My only problem is that I can't find many auto racing publishers for books. I've found two so far and one hasn't gotten back to me and the other isn't taking on any more books this year. Is there a list of publishers I can look at by genre? Thanks

Well, I'm an aspiring writer and I know that I have talent in writing. I recently bought a book called "Jeff Herman's Guide to Book Publishers, Editors, & Literary Agents 2007". In the writer's advice section I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything about copy writing, but if I did get my manuscript copyrighted and got it published and sent to literary agents do you think they would consider that amateurish?

Advice on that is greatly appreciated.

I know of some essays and online articles that explain more about the allround situation at the time 1984 plays out and some have broad info on how the situation came to be as it is in Winston Smith's day but: is there an actual in-depth book charting the war and revolution leading up to the 1984 world?

PS I already know of the novel 1985

I've seen lots of questions about reading books online. I found the site below for anyone that is interested.

My Books and More Books
http://www.my-booksandmorebooks.net

is a web site that has lists of adult books that can be read online on the Adult_Books page and children's books and fairy tales that are either read to children on the computer or can be read from selected books a lot of which have illustrations on the Kids_Page. For people interested in the most recent book from their favorite author there is a New_Books page which lists a lot of sources for finding new books as well as a short list of the newest books that I have found. That page also has a link to the library and a new site link to "Library Elf" which helps you keep track of when your books are due so that you will never have to pay a fine again. There are many other pages that may be of interest.

Tell me what you think. Do i write well? Feel free to give suggestions.


It was a quarter to midnight. Three dark figures crowded around a small marble table in the center of a spherical room with a high domed ceiling. The orange glare of the crackling fire shadowed their features, leisurely clouding the room with dense, gray smoke.
Desarray Decklen studied her reflection in a mirror hanging above the fire place. Despite the semi- darkness, her radiance remained abundant… at least to Theodore Dexan who was admiring her from the opposite side of the table.
Dexan, as he preferred to be called, was dressed the same as Desarray – in a long black cloak— except for Desarray’s green broche which became a common accessory to those who knew her well.
Desarray caught his stare and smiled curiously, her teeth as white as snow. Dexan turned away, pretending to stare at the roaring fire.
