I am looking for reading suggestions for this summer. Some of my favorites are Anne Rice's Mayfair Witch trilogy, Kostova's Historian, and Pearl's Dante Club. Any suggestions for books similar to these? I think that the link here is books based or dealing with history or literature...

I'm looking for a literary agent to send my manuscript to and was hoping for some suggestions. Who would be a good agent for a fiction novel about interacial relationships? There are so many choices, and every agency seems to be advertising the same services? How does one chose? Anyone...

The movie was good and I love Keira Knightly, but the book is so much better. There was a better movie that was put out a while ago by BBC, which is alot closer to the book.

I used to work for Borders and they did this all the time. I refused to participate. It seemed very Nazi-like to me. Burning books and all that. Not theoretically, just physically. My feelings were similar to when I think about how the SPCA kills the animals they can't find homes for. I...

What genres are you interested in Pinecones?

Can anyone suggest some authors who write books similar to Anne Rice. Not the vampire series (which I didn't really like), but the Mayfair Witches series, the Mummy, Violin... that type of novel. This isn't my usually genre, so I don't know what other books to pick up. What do you guys think...

I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. Maybe you should pick up something that you would have never touched with a ten foot pole. Like if you read romance, pick up a sci-fi or something like that. It might jolt you out of your rut.

I have only ever gave up on two books in my entire life. Moby Dick and 4 Blondes by the girl who wrote Sex and the City (which I should have never even picked up). I actually threw 4 Blondes in the trash, which is a big no no for me. If I can offer a bit of advice that a professor once...

"Must read" is a flexible term. It depends what interests you. For instance, one of my interests is classic British novels. So I would say a must read is Pride and Prejudice. (Although it has been getting a lot of hype lately because of the movie, but I think this is a good thing). If we...

CDA, it is so funny that you asked this question, because you know we all want to know, but everyone was too polite to ask. You're great. I second that, why is he in jail? And I suggest The Historian (I forget the author) because it is a large book and should take him 2 days.

Wow, I am so happy that there are so many other weirdos out there like me who read and read and read. I am the only person I have ever actually met who reads this much. People look at me like I'm a freak when they notice that I have a new book every 5 days or so. And I watch tv too, but I...

I think the book I hate is called 3 Blondes, by Candance Bushnell. The girl who wrote sex and the city. All my girls friends loved it. I should have never picked it up, because its not my type of book at all. I read half way through, hoping it would get better, then chalked it up to tripe...

How about Eragon by Christopher Paolini? That's the first book in a science fiction trilogy. I'm not 16 or a guy, but I liked it. It's about this 15 year old boy who finds a dragon egg and it hatches. The boy then becomes a warrior and is going to save his country or something. I just...

I keep the ones that I consider "smart" books and the ones that are "medium-smart" if I liked them. When I move out of my apartment, I hope to have a library someday. The others I sell on half.com which is run by Ebay. It's really easy. The ones that aren't worth selling online ($5 or...

What about for adult women? And no self-help books, I can't stand them half the time. I have enough trouble figuring out what to buy myself (or ask for). Buying books for other adult women is difficult.

Does anyone collect old books? I mean books from 1800 back? Manuscripts? Anything like that? I was just wondering how you take care of something like that. How do you protect it I want to start a collection by buying this set of Johnson's dictionaries, but I'm afraid I'll ruin them just...

good lookin' out, thanks.

I read about 6 hours a day right now, however that changes constantly. I nanny during the day, so I can read all day long while the children play with each other. When I worked in an office, I read about 1 to 2 hours a day, when I didn't have my night classes. My thing is, I love to read...

Everyone knows that they will always get a book from me as a gift. It's kind of a family joke. But I'll give it with something else, like money or wine or a toy, depending on the person. People will buy me books if I've put them on a list, but if I don't they are afraid they'll get me...

Yes, please let me know how it goes. I wonder if they sell in Pennsylvania... I'll see if they have a website.
