I was getting at more of a direct approach. I know the author read HP, why don't more parents read HP if they're so concerned about their own children. It's one thing to be close minded, and its a long the same lines to listen to one christian nobody who says the book is good. Don't you think...

Has anyone read or even glimpsed at the Harry Potter analysis book by some Christian father? I don't recall the name, just the feeling of disappointment I got by looking at it. If you have to read the analysis before you let your children read H.P. you've failed as a parent. On the topic of...

I really love Twain, Huckleberry Fin, Puddin' Head Wilson, and his shorts are my favorites. Aside from his books, he's such an influential and intelligent human being. I think he has a lot to offer in anything you read, and definitely give it some more chances, there is a Twain book out there...

I most often find that conversations with professors and older adults are rewarding, as opposed to the conversations, or lack there of, with the students. In fact, not to long ago, we were listening to Breakfast of Champions on tape. There are several derogatory slurs and comments on gays...

I mean well thought out writer. I guess my post wasn't well thought out either.

Art school is not just painting and drawing, which is what people tend to think it is. It's really hard work, and here I am trying to tell you that although I work hard, many people do not. And although it is hard work, it's not what some people mind call "mind stimulating." If I were to tell...

Yeah, I read that one too! I thought it was really cool to find about that whole thing. When I was younger, instead of the traditional grade school reading like "Goosebumps" and all those, I was really interested in all the Dahlia books, particularly Elroy's book, and also Amityville Horror...

Is anyone as interested in the Black Dahlia as I am? I think the whole case and the stories non-fiction and fiction are truely interesting and have gone overlooked throughout the genre. Perhaps there could be more documentaries and maybe even movies about it. It certainly surpasses the horror of...

Nanny Diaries

Of Mice and Men might just be on my top 5 books. I read it every now and then. I didn't like Grapes of Wrath though for one reason: I read it for a class in highschool. It's a shame.

Contrary to popular belief at my art school, and most definitely this thread, I don't think Chuck is a well thought out man. I feel like he starts out with really wonderful concepts, and writes exceptionally well, but when he gets, oh say, about 3 quarters of the way into the book it seems as...

Seldom do I ever refer to contemporary writers so I wont start now. It may seem niave of me to say it, but I love Mark Twain <-- The man can write a chapter on a blade of grass.

Lately I've been stuck on John Irving novels: unconventional characters accompanied by great story telling.
