Books & Authors - August 2007

I used to read a lot of fantasy, but then it got harder to find something I'd like, if that makes sense. If anyone could suggest anything, I like Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce, Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini, Harry Potter, obviously, so please don't give me a thousand of those, and yes, I've read Twilight and New Moon even though that's not technically fantasy. I'm working on getting Eclipse now. Just clearing the air, because I know I'll be getting tons of Potter and Twilight recommendations. I do prefer romance with the fantasy, but I guess it's okay if it's not there. Thanks in advance for your help!

Other than a couple of names of characters which are the same in the books and the movies, the movie contains nothing resembling the storyline in the book. Carlos the Jackal isn't even mentioned in the movies!

After the war in the second age when Sauron was defeated and the ring was cut off of his finger he was destroyed. The ring wasn't destroyed and was lost at the bottom of a lake for a long long time. Now during that time was Sauron still alive somewhere or did he come back because the ring was found by Deagol, Smeagol's brother? I am kind of confused how Sauron regained physical form in the shape of that eye and if it was attributed to him finding a way to survive or the finding of the ring? Can anyone explain this to me?

I have been searching high and low for either a real magazine or a reliable porn site where I can write columns or stories for. I believe I am very qualified (I am a published author), but the problem is, I don't know where to begin. I don't know any good places I can 'apply' to. Does anyone have any ideas or helpful websites? It is greatly appreciated. :) (And please, no smart-alecky comments; I believe I am allowed to think what I choose and do what I wish.)

Have you ever felt after you have read the most brilliant written work of art in the history of literature, that you'll never read another book as mind-blowing as that one.
what was the name of that book?
IN OTHER WORDS: WHAT WAS THE BEST BOOK YOU HAVE EVER READ? and what made it so amazing?

I personally HATE it, it is the most stupidest book EVER written, i only had to read the first page, not even to the second paragraph to literally throw it away, after throwing it away i picked it back up only because i have to read this stupid book for my honors English class, i have read books at a higher literate level and with more pages than this and i have never in my life been so un-entertained and lost in boredom, can someone please shoot the talentless fool who wrote this, i rather take the F+ than keep reading this crap, I'm sorry but this is the most gayest thing ever "there once was a hobbit whose house had a tunnel" wtf??

The story is about the forgotten stories of Walt Disney that he never wrote, they are each princes and princesses that each govern a land in disneyland and have to battle many disney characters in the process, i think it might sound a little too much like The Kingdom Keepers

I've been staring at my paper for about an hour now, and nothing new has come into my head.
Either that, or what I have in my head doesn't translate into writing!

Help me :)

JK Rowling, I know for a fact, writes her Harry Potter books long-hand before typing them. I don't know about others.

Can someone give me pros and cons?

Which is better, in your opinion?

Is it just the type of person?

Are distraction an issue? (I can find a lot for both)

PS: I listen to music when i write. Does that play an element on which i should settle with?
