Okay, this question might sound ridiculous, but I'm serious.
How do you grip your books when you read? When I was a kid, I used to curve them back like I do to a news paper. However that destroyed the cover of the books and permanently malformed them. Nowadays, I take care of my books when...
The Great Vowel Shift ostensibly transformed the course of both English language and literature. I have read that if you can understand the displacement you can re- read Chaucer and see the verse in his work.
Can somene please explain, in layperson`s terms if possible, what exactly the great...
The Guardian newspaper called it a "modern-day classic" and "the novel of the century". President Obama read it on his holiday and Franzen became the first American writer to appear on the Time Magazine cover in ten years. The last, in 2000, was writer Stephen King.
So I'm expecting something...
I presume you are talking about Stephen King's series? There are seven books in the series and I highly reccomend it. The first three are especially good but leave you wanting to know what happens to the characters. It can be a little loopy at times but is a great read as a whole, especially if...
I like a streak of artistic movement running through a book, which means that in my travels through the literary world I've fall upon one or two writers of extremely peculiar fiction.
I don't really mean books that are self-consciously daring e.g. Joyce, rather those that propose the author's...
On a day like today where I have spent hours writing reports my mind wanders to alternative careers. I doubt I will ever be able to own my own bookshop but was wondering what book related careers people do, or would like to do!?
Since I cannot post links, google this: We Tell Stories - 'The 21 Steps' by Charles Cumming
...and click on the page that has the title you googled (usually the 1st)
That's a page I stumbled upon... very interesting.
I'm not sure that the story is any good, but the concept is fantastic...
I wondered if anyone had any suggestions for a keeping a Book Journal. I've seen several on the market at varying prices and different styles. Any recommendations?
Yes you're right. I think this is natural because every writer needs to get his inspiration from somewhere. Or maybe it's just pure coincidence but I don't think so.
Saw this story on CNN
and thought it might be of interest to people here - obviously we are all readers!
It's not easy getting people to care about books.
Thursday, a small contingent gathered in front of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's building in downtown Atlanta, a couple blocks...
Hehe~ funny thread, i did some of them in the list, now i have to work a lot so don't have enough time for reading, but i always bring a pocketbook with me.
Not many books really scare me, but there are some I do find disturbing. American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis is one (the only book I was not able to read in bed at night because it freaked me out so much - however it is one of my all time favourite books, so I'm not sure what that says about...
Hey all,
My brother is in a speech league and he is looking for a piece of literature to interpret (recite) for his tournaments. He needs two, one humorous, and one dramatic. It can be a book or a short story. It has to be published. If it's a book we'll just use an excerpt from it. The speech...
