These should be pretty revealing questions, 3 of which I copied from a new friend.

1. What would your patronis look like?
2. What happy thought would conjure it up?
3. What would a Boggart look like to you?
4. What rediculous thing would you change it to?

Hello,
Yesterday I have read "1984" book by George Orwell. I am still under influence of thet book. Fantastic... Brilliant. Actually they did a similar movie of 1984, it is called BRAZIL. But it is just like a bad caricature of the book. Anyway, that book was written in 1920's and story took place in 1984. Its portrait of future is so very dark, I am still under influence of it.

Do you think, seriously, we would be like in that book?

...for those there who truly understands the meaning of that question :)

I am written several poems and would like to submit some of them for publication. I want to start because I am writing a book as well. So, I wonder how to go about having it seen by a publisher as well? Any tips would be great.

They have really similar plots. I mean, I know they have different definitions, but what I'm really asking is how to say whether a book is an arcane thriller or murder mystery. Let's just say someone gave you a novel and asked you to distinguish it. I don't have a specific novel in mind; I'm just curious.

I tend to like alternative classics like JD Salinger and Robert Pirsig, but starting this book has already ventured into vomiting and bestiality - things I'm just not interested in being exposed to. Why is this regarded as a modern classic? The prose isn't especially brilliant, and the main character rather grotesque. I can't really understand why Walker Percy found its beginning stimulating enough to find out it is a "great" novel. The rant against modernism was ok but will that be enough to bother going on? I'm only about 30-40 pages in.

Hey I'm looking for a good book about being a teenager and growing up. I want one of those inspirational turning point books that really make you think something like Finding Cassie crazy by Jaclyn Moriarty

Thanks!
