Pullman quoted in an interview that "I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief". And also stated that it was his reply to Chronicles of Narnia, which of course are constructed on the very foundations he discredits. Is his attacks uncalled for?

I finally finished the 7th book of the Harry Potter series (nice ending, but I really mourned for Hedwig!), and I'm looking for more fantasy to read. Has anyone read books by these fantasy authors: Diana Wynne Jones, John Bellairs, Lloyd Alexander, Erin Hunter (Warriors series), Eoin Colfer (Artemis Fowl series), Susan Cooper, Anne McCaffrey, and would you recommend them or any others? I am interested in authors of adult fantasy books as well (but not 2 inches thick!). I've seen books by these authors at the library, and they all look interesting, but would like to hear opinions from those who have read them. Thanks!

I'm writing a movie review on Oh Brother, Where Art Thou and how it relates to The Odyessey. I have some ideas, but if anyone else sees anything important to add, please do.

Sirens- the women singing by the lake
The Cyclops- the bible salesman
The prophet- The black man on the railroad
Being reunited with Penelope
Having a crew of men Odysseus travels with
Odysseus' pride in his strength to his vainity and Dapper Dan
Baptism Scene-Land of Lotus eaters

Can anyone give me any other ideas and ideas about how to set up my essay? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Like how to set up a word processor (font size, font style, margins, etc.) when writing a "small" book... about the size of a soft covered one.

Do you have any suggestions?

We passed their graves;
The dead men there,
Winners or losers,
Did not care.

In the dark
They could not see
Who had gainted
The victory.

I have been writing a novel and I want to post it on a website with stories like fan fiction sites. But it isn't a spin off of anything and if on the off chance it is good I don't want anyone else taking credit for my work. If I get good reviews I'm hoping it will motivate me to finish it and possibly someday get it published. What do I do and where do I start?
