    George Sands is another famous one.

    It's all a matter of perspective

    It depends which is more suitable. In Dickens' Great Expectations,and Defoe's Robsinson Cruesoe, for example, the importance of the story lies largely in the protagonists' reflections on their previous lexperiences; thus it is necessary to write in first person. I do, however, think that first...

    Don't worry about getting the Inferno done quickly, it's poetry and you have to savour it. What exactly are you finding difficult? And The Inferno is rather short, perhaps you have the entire Divine Comedy in your book? At any rate the Inferno is incomplete alone.

    Here's where I'll be donating my books.

    It's a good idea. My personal opinion is that they should be leaving the country rather than settling down with books but it doesn't look like that will happen very soon.

    War & Peace

    It isn't very difficult. It is a long book, but not unreadable at any rate.

    Horrible characters

    Tom Bombadil I have never been annoyed by any character more than Tom Bombadil from LOTR. Goldberry wasn't so terrible, but Tom Bombadil was awful. Everything about him annoyed me. I can't believe someone like Tolkien had such great potential to be lame.

    Disturbing trend.

    Tolkien's publishers caused LOTR to be published in a trilogy contrary to his wishes, right?

    Achilles

    It is the right heel in most accounts. In my opinion, don't place too much importance on the heel, In the Iliad it is not mentioned, the epic that takes place before the Illiad was lost, and Achilles needs armour in the epic. As to his being hit in in the hell by the divinely guided arrow of...

    My English teacher told us that King writes in only one draft.

    New to the Forum, which book should i read first?

    In my opinion, the greatest novels which fit your description are Robert Louis Stevenson's "Kidnapped" and "Treasure Island". There are, too, those about pre-teens such as Haugaard's "The Boy and the Samurai" (though you should read "The Samurai's Tale" first) and Mark Twain's "Adventures...
