That was cruel. And I guess you take pleasure in insulting a 13 year-old on an internet thread. Good job.

Imajica is the only Barker work I have read but it will probably stay as my most favorite. Just picked up Galilee, Weaveworld and The Great and Secret Show all for a buck a piece because of a local library sale I went to. Cannot go wrong for that price.

I agree with you Mari in that I find myself continually wondering if what I am reading is a fictional part of the story or not. I would take a non-fictional biography over a fictional one almost 100% of the time unless it is about someone where very little factual information is known. Say a...

It's very good if you don't mind reading a book that very heavily devles into historical fact. I haven't seen the movie but Oliver Stone mentioned that this book was the prime source of information for him when developing the movie and it is also considered the best biographical book on...

This is a good thread. I have the same feelings about writing letters as you both do. It is a lost art. My difficulty with letter writing is that when I have written letters to people, they find me weird for doing it. Then, over time, they continue to joke, make sarcasms and totally bash...

Hello, I'll start off by saying that I have no idea what novel it is you're trying to find specifically. But, your thoughts on finding a new novel to read and how you don't like a defined gender class etc. got me instantly thinking about Ursula K. LeGuin for some weird reason. She writes...

Yup, I got mine from my local Chapters bookstore for only $12.99 Cdn.

Hello and welcome. Just curious to know if you are a full time author or only write as a hobby? 21 years of age is very young to dedicate yourself fully to being an author unless you are extremely good or very wealthy.

Poe is great. The end.

I thought Alexander The Great by Robin Lane Fox was terrific. It was the main source Oliver Stone advertised when making his Alexander movie.

I was wondering if it was an accurate recounting of her life but it seems to me that it's more fictitious. I have seen it many times in the bookstore but I think I would rather read the one by Allison Weir.

I don't continue to reply in posts with close-minded idiots. You guys aren't even trying to see my point of view. This conversation is over.

And you're probably justified and supported by 70% of the authors out there in not doing so but then again many will say that this is why you'll never be a mainstream author. I'm not saying to be arrogant and totally dismiss anything your publisher advises and at the same time I'm not saying...

I disagree. If you firmly believe your story is best told at a certain length rather than at any other you should always stand your ground. It's the privilege of the publisher to be your representative of authorship - not the other way around. If they think your piece of work needs to be...

It seems the best one by far is The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. by Martin Luther King Jr. and Clayborne Carson. How many different autobiographies did MLK write anyway?
