I feel fire burning up my soul
hot and uncontrollable
I try to ease it but the fire I feel is too great
feeling lost and hurt above all
I feel like a second hell is in me
trying to eat at my emotions
I sit alone in a silent rage
telling myself to do what I always wanted to do take my life
I got a knife and cut my wrists
watching my blood dripping to the floor
my last thoughts were of you and your betrayal
I hope you know this is your punishment
so feel me die
you spawn of devil
this is your punishment
and know that i'll never forgive you
and the the darknes consumed me...

I have the Simon Necronomicon which ties H.P. Lovecraft and Aleister Crowley to Sumerian / Mesopotamian mythos and the Tyson Necronomicon is more tied in to the Cthulhu Mythos by Lovecraft and others.

Like, I'm just writing a simple fantasy story but my first sentences I keep coming up with are awfully lame/over used, like "once upon a time" or just "one day".

I've read so many books where the first sentences are really good. I think first sentences are important since when you were little, you were told to read the first sentence or paragraph of a book to see if you like it.

So, help?

I love graphic novels, but I have a lot of ideas for a collection of graphic short stories. What are some good examples of it? I want to get an idea of the format, layout and that type of thing.

My wife's grandfather has a love for sci-fi and adventure novels. In the past I bought him some early Clive Cussler books, and then moved onto Scalzi's Old Man's War trilogy.

He tends to like adventure, sci-fi, and war related themes. I believe I also gave him Ender's Game. This year though I'm at a loss. I would appreciate any suggestions.

What books would you all recommend?

I want to get my sister a book about writing fiction for christmas, but there are so many, I don't know which ones are best. She is a teenager and really into fiction writing. She is definitely a beginner, she really hasn't written that much. But she does have really good ideas for books, so I think it would be cool to give some guidence. I'd appreciate any suggestions for books that are current, inspirational, and knowledgable that will teach her the basics and more. Also, I have a $20 budget for her. Is there anything else that I could get her to go along with a book? I have no idea, but suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your time! I appreciate any answers.

I'm preparing to present a new course to my district to engage older students (from 8th grade to 10th grade) in reading. What books do you remember from reading at that age that you really enjoyed? What books have you read now that you think would be appropriate? The books below I'm thinking of using.... (Please remember I need to appeal to both girls and guys!!)

THANKS!

Books for 8th-10th graders:
"The Great Gatsby" - Fitzgerald
"Catcher in the Rye" - Salinger
"A Solitary Blue" - Voigt
"Black Boy" - Wright
"The Diary of Anne Frank" - Frank
"Go Ask Alice"- Anon.
"Shades of Simon Gray" - MacDonald

in his final comment, Nick says: "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but thats no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther...and one fine morning--so we beat on, boats against the current, bourne back ceaselessly into the past"? Why is this quote significant to the theme of the American Dream in the novel?

it is one of my questions on my homework and i dont really understand it. can someone please explain it to me? thank you!

I read it in 1995 in my high school English class.
It starts out that this young boy is going to the "forgotten lands" or something like that. It seems as if it is set back in old times and it is a Native American coming of age journey. As the story progresses, you realize it is actually from the future, and he's going to the ruins of New York City after the nuclear war. Anyone know what I'm talking about???

Terry Pratchett has a form of Altzheimers. He is putting a very positive spin on it, and reckons he has several books still to come, but it's awful news about a top bloke and great writer.
