I internally struggle over whether i like happy or sad endings because on the one hand nearly every story ends happily because people tend to like that, so it seems cliched and boring to me. on the other hand a sad ending is sort of different but depressing, is the depression of a sad ending worth the originality?

in general, im sure it varies from story to story, but what do you feel more comfortable with? Do most people start with a tentative title, just to have something to call it, then as you progress find an appropriate title or even at the end take it from a quote or something?

Which book should I pick? I am trying to decide among:

1. The Sirens of Titan, by Kurt Vonnegut
2. Odd Thomas, by Dean Koontz
3. Triple Cross, by Kit Ehrman

Or perhaps you have another suggestion. It shouldn't be a really long book 300 - 400 pages.

Anyone feel there was anything from these books that was left open, that you were expecting or hoping to be dealt with in the last book but wasn't, and if so what was it?

Harry saw his parents die. It discribes their death in the book. You know Harry saw it because he has dreams about it. In order to see a Thestal you have to see someone die, Harry saw his parents die so why couldn't he see them the very first time he rode in the carages? He only saw them after he saw Cedric die.

I seem to think that the last book was bad, and I seem to be the only one thinking that. I looovvveed Fred. And Snape!, Hedwig, Tonks, Lupin, George's Ear. Why did JKR have to kill them? I think Percy should have died...like, angst-like-crazy. Have him return to the family then die? What's better then that? And FredandGeorge just being George is really depressing. I've finished reading that book exactly a month ago and I'm still not over the deaths.
I read something where she says George will never get over the death of his brother, which is sad [then why'd you kill him off?], but will name his first son after him. Which helped my 'Why didn't Ginny get to pick the names for the kids,' I mean come on:
Ginny: Well- I knew my brother his whole life and you knew your parents for a year!
That has to be one of the best arguments. Has to be.

I certainly wouldn't say that it's one of the worst books ever written but considering that it is a world wide classic and that over 60 million copies have been sold (according to wikipedia.org) I would have expected it to be much better. And the funny thing is that everybody I mention it to says "Catcher in the Rye? Good book." I strongly disagree.

For my summer reading, I am reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road. I have to write an additional chapter or rewrite the ending of the story by maintaining the "voice" of the main character. So my question is: Will my paper be written just like the book (the story is told from a narrator) or do i tell the story from the father or son's point of view?
