Books & Authors - August 2007

I was just wondering:
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, how come Fawkes isn't affected by the Basilisk's stare? Blinding the basilisk would mean that the phoenix has to look at it, right? Does it have anything to do with his song?
Thanks

I have seen a cover on a book almost identical with that designed for me for a forthcoming publication.

As to copyright, is it the publisher's problem or the graphic artist's?

I am responsible for paying the graphic artist. Should I do so? I paid him half on account. Can I get it back?

I think it was called Evan. That was also the name of the hero.
He was a cowboy--I think and the heroine was a young blonde girl who he thought was too young and small for him. He had a hang up about being a really big guy.
She worked in an art gallery and liked to paint pictures. She was alsys flirting with him and he hurt her by trying to embarrass her with some other woman- possibly.
Anyway she got engaged and so he made a play for her.

It's a book I read years ago and wanted to find again but can't remember the author or even if tht's the real name of the book.
All I remember was that it had a red cover.

Can anyone help?

TIME FOR A QUESTION.
In fact I am writing one. I understand that there will be many varied answers. I want to incorporate a good cross section of what people like to read. I thought this forum may be a good one. I am not writing fiction nor anything religious nor is it about me. Although I am putting a section about those things as a means of introduction. I see many 'popular' books out there like 'The Secret', 'What the bleep..." etc. In terms of genre it is akin to that. This forum definitely helps me gather important info about people. Enough details....
Thanks in advance for your creative input....

I'm looking for a modern classic. Something written in the last 10 years that you think will stand the test of time; a book that, though new and cutting-edge, has the grandiose vision of Moby Dick or the Romantic movement. Not a genre book, but one that could go on the shelf called, simply, great literature. Any suggestions?

I'm a huge fan of the Twilight Series. I jsut finished reading Eclipse last night and I'm still a little fuzzy about the Volturi. I know it has been explained in the book but I could use some clearing up?

What do they do? And why did they come to the clearing during the fight? (The part with the young vampire Bree)

Thanks so much. :]
