Books & Authors - October 2007

Here are the types of authors I read:

Nelson Demille (probably my favorite)
Wilbur Smith (One of my favorites, but a bit too lengthy)
Dan Brown (excellent)
Michael Connelly (Just got into this, I like it)
Michael Crichton (latest efforts have not been great)
Dennis Lehane (very good)
Clive Cussler (pure fun)
Dean Koontz - Although I'm not a fan of horror, I've also read Stephen King, that's not my bag!
James Patterson --- Kind of too lightweight
Douglas Preston And Lincoln Child-- -( I love this stuff)
Harlan Coben (it's good, I live in NJ, and like that he writes that locale in)

That's just a general indication of the stuff I read, I am always open to new authors, If you are familiar with the above and have any new author recommendations, I would appreciate your opinions.

OK so is Lizzy the same person as Eliza and Elizabeth? Where does the Bennet family live? Who is Elizabeth's friend? Where does she live? Who is in her family? I'm only on page 20 so no spoilers please.

I enjoyed a Clockwork Orange not only for its unique, interesting, enjoyable language but also for the philosophical value woven into its dark storyline. If I liked this, what other books might you recommend to me?

ive read the real final book of the harry potter series and also read a few chapters of the fake version supposedly leaked before the new book was released.
i didnt read all of it and dont really want to but i still wanna know the story line of the book and the main differences between the real and fake version.
for one i know not once do the words "deathly hallows" come up in the fake version and the plot has nothing to do with the wand, cloak or stone.
thanks for all ur help u harry potter fans! :)

tell me whether its good or not. And i can use advice on how to make it better. Some editing would help to. I want your honest opinon. I want to be better writer. And btw, the grammer isn't very good, so yeah don't expect it to be all great. so here it is.

PULSE
Screaming, that’s all I heard. Was the screaming of some poor worthless bastard. Well that’s all you really start to hear when your boxed up in a big, perfectly squared-shape, dark, unpleasantly foul smelling room. It wasn’t overly elaborate. The damp floor was concrete; the four surrounding slabs of stones they called walls, was penetrated by a foul smell from who knows where. Cobwebs filled in the space in the dark corners. My only source of light was from a single dim light bulb that seemed like it was super glued to the ceiling above me.
But wait, I haven’t even got to the best part yet. I don’t even know the freaking location. Yeah, that’s right. I just woke up sitting in some chair, with my arms and legs

Someone who makes you feel, and does more than just entertain you or help pass the time? Who's words jump off the page and move you? Could be from any time period.

I haven't read a book in a bazillion years. I like horror books. Something good, not too long, but keeps you interested while reading. I liked some books by Sharon M. Draper.

It seems that the character Faust seems to complain throughout the first part of the book because he is unsatisfied with everything. However the structure and style of the whole story is really confusing. Is it supposed to be shakespearean or something?

Besides an outline of your basic idea and a character list and analysis, what other things can you do to round out and plan your story before writing it? My problem is, I have an idea, write an amazing first chapter, and then I'm left with nothing much, I can't seem to keep motivated or with new fresh ideas, what inspires you?
