I really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings. For the most part, I like science fantasy. I didn't like The Great Gatsby.

What about: This is the song that never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. Somebody starting singing it not knowing what it was Now they'll continue singing it forever just because... This is the song that never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. Somebody starting...

I'm looking for books, fiction or non-fiction, which are representative of life here in America in the mid-1600's. Any suggestions?

I keep my favorites and give the rest away to friends, relatives, or the library.

BE WARNED: THIS IS NOT FOLLOWING THE THREAD, BUT I would like to take a few moments to reply to some of the comments which have been made either to me or about me: Please note that this question, “if you can define your version of intelligence, and why that makes one elite, I'd appreciate...
