She has three books out to date. Her first, "Wasted: A Memoir Of Anorexia And Bulimia" was a huge hit when it came out because it told the story of eating disorders unlike any other book that had been published on them, and is probably still one of the best books out there on the topic. Her second, which was a novel, "The Center Of Winter," focused on a family after the father's suicide. I can't say much about that book because I haven't read it, but I intend to d
What Are Some Good Short Stories?
I used to read a lot years ago, but as the Internet got more interesting, I stopped reading before bed, heck, I stopped going to bed! I'm thinking that I should start reading a bit more, something other than Wikipedia (Heh, anyone else a Wiki addict like me?) and short stories seems like a good place to kick-start my interest in reading. Does anyone have any suggestions? Preferably something that's well known and available online. I'll read just about anything, from horror stor

The whole town attended to Emily Grierson’s funeral, but did they actually knew who she was? And that was exactly the problem. Emily was a very mysterious lady, with a lot of secrets and eccentricities; it was impossible to know what was going through that woman’s head. But that did not stop the people talking and supposing things about her; “poor Emily” they used to say, and it was impossible not to talk about her due to her weird personality. Emily Grierson not only was
A hanging Racism of Hindu people can reach really deep extremes. One of them is the hanging. In the story of “a hanging”, by George Orwell, is described the execution of a Hindu man in a prison and how is it from the point of view of one of the guards. This story describes his feelings, and it shows that the narrator is not as selfish as he seems and that he deeply has a good hearth. First of all, it can be seen that he actually cares a little bit about the prisoners’ lives. In the text he descr
A Slander is a short story that reflects the behavior of society concerning on the public image. In the story, Serge Kapitonich Ahineev is an important writer gathering with other important people. He got into the kitchen with Marfa, the cooker, to check the sturgeon, and amazed by the delicious smell he smacked his lips emitting the sound of an ungreased wheel. Suddenly, he heard a voice on the next room; it was Vankin, wrongly interpreting the noise he just heard and making up a story about Ah
Dear friends recently I met a boy of just 14 years old. And he knows many techniques of Hacking and site moreover he has also written a full length book on Hacking and prevention methods. His name is Shailendra Devdhar. The most amazing thing is that he is from a very small interior city, where there is no exposure to new technology etc. is not there. I also discovered that he was having a very sharp memory. I was really amazed to see a boy in such an age with such a sharp memory and intelligenc
Minima Moralia: Reflections From Damaged Life
i've been working on this adorno piece on and off for a month or so now. needless to say, it's an incredibly heavy read... as is just about anything from him. "life does not live" being one of the books opening statements, you can really only imagine where it goes from there. from specifics to broad assertions of an inhuman society, adorno really digs deep on this one.if nothing else, it is certainly a social philosophy book worth taking a look at. just one warning, don't e
D. Adams Lives On: H2g2 Part 6 Of 3 Published.
There is a new book in the official Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, the famous trilogy featuring science fiction, british humour and the intriguing and dramatic tale of man searching the universe over for a good cup of tea. The book is called "..and Another thing". It wasn't written by (The late, great) Douglas Adams, but it received good reviews for retaining Adams' signature writing style and received the blessing of his family. Haven't read it myself, but se
Book Review Good To Great Companies - Chapter 3 Summary
In chapter three, Collins would begin by saying when it comes to producing good to great companies it was the matter of putting the right people on the "bus" and getting the wrong people off the "bus". However, had talk briefly about that in chapter one, chapter three would seem to get to the important aspect of defining the right people and wrong people. Collins talks about three truths when it comes to using the right people and the wrong people, the first one he talks ab
Book Review Good To Great Companies - Chapter 2 Summary
To Continue on with my review I have completed chapter 2 for everyone to enjoy.I find chapter two to be of interest for those in the management area, the reason I say that because it would seem that Jim Collins is saying this is what you shouldn’t do when you are at a high level position. He talks about how some of the good-to-great leaders were humble and thought of the company and not themselves. Jim Collins talks about Level 5 Management, in short is a position that blends both persona
Book Review Good To Great Companies - Chapter 1 Summary
For one of my projects in a management course, I had to pick out a book and read and then provide an overall summary to at the end of the course and so I thought I would share with every my thoughts about this book. It is called Good To Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't. Now each summary are based on notes I have taken in a essay like writing format to make the transition for the final paper a lot easier and so here is my chapter 1 summary. My initial impression o
Any Legend Of The Seeker Fans Here?
I dearly love sci-fi/fantasy books, and always head to that section of the local library first thing. I've read so many it's hard to find good new ones, and lately the pickens have gotten really slim. But last week I saw a good large collection of books written by a Terry Goodkind that I have not yet read. I noticed he had written quite a few books, so I picked one out, "Wizzards First Rule" and mentioned on the way home to my hubby that I really hoped the guy was a good wri
I recently had a professor who avowed that Chaucer was one of the 4 most influential writers in the English Language. He included Shakespeare, Milton and some other dude that I can't remember. The point is: CHAUCER? I would have never guessed.Anyhow, he said that Chaucer was so influential because he started a trend of realism in characterization (everything before this point was written like a legend or a fable or whatever) and rhyme in poetry (english writers just used alliteration, rhythm
Did You Read Dan Brown's New Book?
I just opened today's newspaper to read a story about Dan Brown's latest book The Lost Symbol. Based on the report, sales of the book have been really strong, although there was nothing clearly mentioned about how good (or bad) the story was! All the report seemed to care about was the hype surrounding the sales figures of the book. All this has made me curious about this new book. It is the third one to involve Robert Langdon (got the spelling right?) and based on what I've read

I just recently got the summer job of my dreams - BUT, it comes with a 1+ hour commute each way. Fortunately for me, I can take the commuter bus and put those extra 2.5 hours a day towards reading!And so, having exhausted my intended summer reading list all too early in the summer and with many long commutes to go, I need your suggestions of what to read next! I enjoy just about everything, fiction and nonfiction (with the exception of dense war histories and formulaic romance novels). I
I was wondering whether we could start a book club at trap17, serious members only. Any book goes as long as the member reads it and talks about it instead of simply disappearing. Not much to say right now but I hope we can start this because it would encourage other members to read books of different genres
Have you read the God Slayer Chronicles by James Clemens??? There are 2 books published for now which are Shadowfall and Hinterland.The plot is really well planed and the characters are very alive.It is a fantasy fiction book with magic and medieval stuff. If you like lord of the rings, you should take a look at this.
Map of Bones by the author James Rollins is a great thriller and mystery mixed book with fast-paced actions with intellegently put puzzles lying around every corner of the book, but on the other hand it's kind of boring on some parts because of the repeating of the activites. I borrowed it from the library 4 days ago by a recommendation of several friends and couldn't stop reading it, very addicting! Short plot below:A band of intruders, highly armed dressed in robes of priests, unl

Younger ages inside of us In the following post I will talk about how people sometimes act as if they were younger. I will explain if I have felt younger ages inside of me that continue to exist with my present age. When and how have I seen it in other people, etc. I can’t tell if younger ages continue to exist in my present age. But what I can tell is that sometimes I feel like doing things a little kid does. Just like playing videogames or watching cartoons, I like eating letter soup and when
The end does not justify the meansIn the following post I am going to explain why the end does not justify the means, because it would give a conflict between your minimum ethics (what is right and what is wrong) and your maximum ethics (what is better or worse than). I will take a side in this debate and give my point of view. Your minimum ethics are the things that you know that are right or are wrong. For example, killing is bad no matter what or why you do it. And tolerance is good no matter

If I was a friend of Mr. Shepps, I would tell him to leave Yossel whatever he wants and stop making pressure so he studied medicine. I would tell him that what Yossel d
My Review On Social Stratification And Love
Social Stratification VS Love In the following post I will explain some factors in our society. Such as the divisions that exist in society along those of social class, race or religion. I will talk about marriages between people of different classes, races and or religions and about their parents and society’s approval. Based on the story "Marriage is a private affair" Our society isn’t divided in tribal lines like in Nigeria, but it is divided by classes. In our society, race and rel
Problem With Dan Brown's Books
Dan Brown, the author of The Da Vinci Code, is very famous, with good reason, for writing an entertaining action / thriller. However, as I have read more of his work, I am disappointed to see that all his books follow the same common formula.Take a protagonist (a beautiful woman or a man who ends up working closely with one). Throw her into one insanely crazy situation after another. Make sure random people are trying to stop / kill her, for no apparent reason at all and outside of the notice
There are so many useless e-books at the Internet, and from now on, I will never, ever buy another one. Why? People just want to make money the easy way, and they don't know what they're talking about, act smart, copy stuff from the Internet, or just read around some stuff and expand it-by adding useless stuff, which you may get by reading a dozen times smaller text!The folowing text is my review for a e-book called '101 Ways toPromote Your Web Site: Filled with Proven Internet M

What Author/series Would You Recommend?
I'm a big sci-fi fan when it comes to reading, or rather in general. I'm a sci-fi nut. Anyway, my favorite authors are Anne McCaffrey, Robert Jordan, and Lois McMaster Bujold, I've read almost every book in McCaffrey's pern series. I'm reading the Wheel of time series, and the sword of truth series. I have read the first book in Bujold's Vorkosagan series, twice and I would read it again but I'm trying to get the rest of them read. Anyway, I'm always looking for n
So I went out and picked up a book called "The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists" by writer Neil Strauss the other day and have just finished reading it and I must say it's pretty interesting. It speaks about the underground world of pickup artists, techniques they use and what distinguishes them from every other male out there.Has anyone read this? If so what were your thoughts?
Well, I saw that the movie was coming out and thought that I would bring this up in a topic. So, how many of you have actually read this book (series, if I am not mistaken)? I have yet to read it, but from what I heard it sounds interesting.What exactly is it about? Yeah, I know that there are vampires and the like in it, but is it worth reading? Should I get the book, or wait until the movie comes out to watch it? Some people that I know said that they liked it, and it was a good read. But I do

In my opinion I think a comic is better than an anime because it has many advantage.The first advantage, comic is comfortable to read.You will read it any time any place if you want dislike the anime and if you want to read the previous page, you can do it easier than previous phase in anime. Next advantage, the comic can improve your reading skill because you will get the new words and parlance from the comic. Sure, you will fun and get knowledge at the

http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-PHP-MySQL-...768&sr=11-1This is a very great book for all users, loaded with great information that covers the basics such as functions, arrays, error handling and more. Of course, it even covers one of my favorite things to create, forms and of course one of biggest concerns for all programmers security.

The mass of people who swoon over the Twilight series?Don't get me wrong -- I've read all of the books myself, and they were all right, but why are people going completely nuts about them? This is almost as bad as when Harry Potter first became popular...if not more so.I mean...come on!They're just books...and no matter how good they may be, it's not use going on and on about how you'll make Edward Cullen yours, or some such nonsense.

Audrey Niffenegger is the author of this absolutely brilliant book! Her writting is very 'real' and the story line is definitely one you have never read before.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Unleashedhttp://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Dreamweaver-CS...a/dp/0672329441If you want to master Dreamweaver CS3 then this is the book to get, there is so much stuff in this book that trying to read it and memorizing it would take a long time. I don't even think the Dreamweaver CS3 bible doesn't come close to all the information that this book has. With 30 chapters to fill your mind it covers HTML, CSS, forms, templates, php/MySQL development and of course covering the
In some aspects, Orwell’s vision will become reality, by the sole facts that the government uses technology to spy on us, distracts us with inaccurate subjects, and by manipulating history, all of these just to “protect” us and slowly take away our privacy, without us knowing it. This leads me to assume that if the course of humanity does not change and continues to flow in the same direction currently, then they will be the end of us. Orwell might be dead, but his vision could
'The Secret' By Rhonda ByrneI want to review this book, because this book is the concept of how the mind should work to get what we want.Some people says to me, that what this book teaches is unorthodox or it violates the rule of religions, since religions believe that human has their own destiny so being rich and poor is not what they choose, its their destiny, that is what is believed in my country.With such a thought, people cannot advance in their life, they are stuck in the dogma, a
I am currently looking for a good book that I can buy and read. I know, a lot to choose from right? Well we have not really got many English books here to choose from, so I thought I would order one online. Why this sudden interest in a English British book? Well I need to improve my English. I really need to. (There is a boy in my class from England and of course he is really good in English... that is inspiration enough for me. Pluss the fact that my new English teacher expect us to speak wond
Hey all:A great book I'm reading right now is by Joe Beam called Becoming One. He goes into the different aspects of a person and how by achieving peace in each area you can open up to your partnet and become much closer.

Quickstart Guide To Photoshop Cs3 Review
Just like the other Visual Quickstart Guides, this book goes over the basics for Photoshop CS3, and teaches you how to use Photoshop and give you a basic understanding on how Photoshop works as well.

Essential Actionscript 3.0 Book Review
Even though this book covered the basics of ActionScript 3.0, I felt that this book is above a beginner’s level in programming for ActionScript. The reason I say that is that this book guide you through building a prebuilt set of scripts. Which is all fine and dandy, but for someone who has a hard time trying to learn programming languages to be able to code from scratch. I want to be able to learn of which I attempted to do so before my computer crashed on me and lost everything. In m
Sitepoint: The Ultimate Html Reference
If you’re a web design both beginner and advance and have a hard time remembering all the various html tags, then this book is for you as Ian Lloyd covers every tag from html 1 to XHTML. Each tag is broken down about what is is supposed to do and gives you an example of what it looks like and what other HTML’s can be used with that tag as well. This book also provides DOCTYPES which includes the early version of html up to the current XHTML. So I highly recommend getting this book
I do not know if anyone have you have heard of this book or know what a Socrates Cafe but I will explain it to the best of my ability here. The author Christopher Phillips has traveled the country starting what he calls "Socrates Cafes" which are like philosophical discussions that question just about everything and anything. A simple question like "Does anyone have the right to be ignorant?" or even what seems like simple questions like "What are we?" but it lead

I've been looking for this book, "The Revolt" ("Myatezh") by Dmitri Furmanov on the Internet and Ares, but can't find it.If anyone has it in the computer, and shares it, I'd be grateful. My email is in the signature, but if you have a link to the book and leave it as a reply, it will be great too.The book was published in 1925, so I don't think it will be a copyright infringement.Thanks, Andrés
Blind Faith absorbs you into itself right from the very first look at the cover of the book.The water, the rising London Eye with an iris in the center, the coloring, it's just spectacular. And then you stumble upon the name. "Blind Faith" Sounds pretty interesting? Or rebellious for some but it's sure to get your attention. Then later on when you go through the back-cover of the book and read a summary, it sounds so very bland and something that must've been the plot of a
Has anyone else heard about the new eragon book they have a release date for it.It's suppose to be released in September on the 20th
Vampires. Possibly one of the most overused devices/characters in fiction. There’s so much vampire literature around these days, it’s hard to write an original, successful vampire story. Kind of hard to write a vampire story without being accused of stealing another author’s ideas as well, because of the sheer volume of vampire lit hanging around. Written badly it seems cliché and possibly a plagiarised version of another writer’s work, but written well…What are some of the best (or worst XD) va
I am going to major in finance and banking, and I need a couple of books that might help in the future, lets say at workplace.I am searching for the books that teach you different applications such as Microsoft Excel and Access with Finance, in other words, how to conduct and record finance activities.

Me and my girlfriend are both pretty big movie buffs, but at the same time love to read. Lately we've been having a pretty big discussion about our distaste for books being turned into movies. The most recent "big" book title to be turned into a movie is, one of our favorite book series, Twilight. Twilight is an amazing book and I'm really looking forward to the movie. She, however, is very upset that they decided to make the book into a movie as it will "ruin her view o
The Scarlet Letter is most definitely a novel to remember. This novel brings so much to the table, there is a little bit of mystery, deceit, evil, and so much more. The Scarlet Letter is full of symbols, themes and motifs. To fully comprehend the novel, an individual must read it more than once. Nathaniel Hawthorne uses very vivid imagery, yet the story unfolds quite slowly. One should have much patience while reading this classic, though in the end one will get rewarded. The Scarlet Letter has
The Great Gatsby And The American Dream
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is much like an onion. On the surface there is the hard outer layer, but to really understand it, one has to dig into the fresh insides. On the surface of The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald portrays a romantic love between a man and a woman, but inside the real meaning is much deeper. Fitzgerald depicts the 1920’s as a time of decay social and moral values, evidence of this is the greed and the pursuit of pleasure. Jay Gatsby’s constant parties epitomized the corr
All Quiet On The Western Front: The Effects Of War
In All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque progressively shows the brutality of war through the eyes of soldiers claiming their innocence. Remarque describes the war as a beastly adversary to these soldiers; furthermore he depicts the killing of enemy soldiers as a game for the Germans. Throughout the duration of the book, Paul Baumer, the main character, is portrayed as a once innocent adult that becomes emotionally desensitized by the war. The goal of All Quiet on the Western Fron
Does anyone here read the wheel of time series? If so, does anyone have an opinion on the final book? I am not really sure how good it is going to be since it is going to be co-authored. I have high hopes though, because it has been such a great series. please, post up your favorite parts of the series, either an event or even a whole book if you want.

Whos Going To Get Pendragon 9 (raven Rise)?
I just wanted to see how many people were going to get the ninth pendragon book (Raven Rise) I know I am (been waiting for like, 4 months) so...?
I read a lot of mystery, thriller, suspense and legal fiction. Seems like I am always running out of good authors to read. Then last year my sister introduced me to Lee Child's Reacher series. These are great. For those of you who haven't heard of them, the protagonist, Jack Reacher, is a former military police officer who wanders through the country with nothing but a folding toothbrush in his pocket. He always seems to fall into trouble. But don't worry, he is up to the challenge.H
Has anyone read or watched the Kite Runner? I think it was a fabulous book with a creative writing style. I loved how the author transitioned from their childhood life to adulthood. His style also made his book kind of unpredictable. I'm not giving any spoilers but I think it was an excellent book and deserves a good read. My favorite part would have to be near the ending, mainly at the climax. The ending also kinda makes you want to know what happens after that. If you haven't read the

If she was hungry the castle chefs would get to work in instants, a personal hairdresser and a weekly scheduled manicuri
My wife loves children's books. We have hundreds of books in our apartment. She likes goosebumps, her favorite author is Ann M Martin. Books that pertain to school girls. She is even writing a few books herself. My wife is very talented. I am looking to the day so I can start reading my daughter some books. My favorite books are Star Trek books. I am a big Science Fiction fan.
Has anyone ever read this book? I found it to be one of the greatest books Ive ever read. It was so good I ran out and got the movie too.

Gitanjali (prayer Offering Of Song)
Gitanjali is well known to the bangli people for the wining of Nobel Prize of Rabindranath Tagore. He is the first Bangali person who wins the Nobel Prize.QUOTEThe word “gitanjoli” is a composed from "git", song, and "anjoli", offering, and thus means - "An offering of songs"; but the word for offering, anjoli, has a strong devotional connotation, so the title may also be interpreted as "prayer offering of song".Gitanjali is a collection of 103
I am a huge fan of sci-fi books. Arthur C Clarke, Robert A Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, the list goes on...My favorite ones are the old dusty copies. The tiny books, yellowed with age, crisp to the touch, and aromatic of the dusty bookshelf they once inhabited. That's sci-fi to me.I suppose I really am not heading anywhere with this post, so let me give it purpose.Does anyone recommend one such classic to me? I am looking for a really good one, one of your favorites. Please PM me with your favori
The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
It is set in WWII . It is cleverly written and displays the horrors of the holocaust in a subtle way. It keeps ahead of you , until it delivers the last final pages , which are heartrending I thought it was a great book. It is almost one of a kind , and The author , even though the book being less than 280 pages long , put two years of effort into writing it. I hope you will read it , because it will never become boring :]

This book is by Brian Ruckley, and I highly suggest you see if its at a library near you if you like heroic fantasy.... I'll type out the description on the back of the book for you...An uneasy truce exists between the thanes of the True Bloods.Now, as another winter approaches, the armies of the Black Road march south from their exile beyond the Vale of Stones. For some, war will bring a swift and violent death. Others will not hear the clash of swords or see the corpses strewn over fields.
Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows
I was wondering, can this be a discussion for the seventh and final book of the Harry Potter series? Because I really want to talk about it. Great book!Do you think that the ending is a bit.. predictable? [spoiler]I mean, it was kind of obvious (to me) that Hermione and Ron would eventually.. Marry each other? As with Harry and Ginny. But I like Harry's kid the best, the one that looks like him. Albus Severus, right? Or was it Albus Snape? Hmm.. I remember it was Albus _______..[/spoiler
Kurt VonnegutSo i'm reading Kurt Vonnegut's book, "Timequake" and I just really wanted to know what all of you thought about the weird author? Have any of you read his novels? They really intrigue me because of his critique of society and the everyday things we do. I look at him as an observer. Almost like George Carlin but of the written word. Anyway I really......REALLY enjoyed the book "Cat's Cradle" which says a lot about people, religion, war, government. It&
for my summer reading froject at school we had to read "the catcher in the rye" i did not like it very well but i think it was well writen but something that scared me about was the main character went somewhat "cooccoo" and a couple of the stuff that happened to lead him to his coccooness. happened to me but i'm not too woried.but in the class we are argued that this book is well writen and add to the fact that the auther apparently have not gotten out of his house for a
The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
This book is absolutley brilliant.I read a fair amount I suppose, I don't know maybe a book a week. I had never, however, come across this book or anything like it until one day my grandmother lent me it. I flicked through the pages and thought with it only being a short novel I should give it a go.The general theme of the book is that a small boy, the son of Hitler's right hand man, and his family all move from their beautiful home in Berlin to a place called Out-with.The real charm of
So its this book called Twilight. It is really good, its about vampires. I got an interview about how the author stephanie Meyers made the book. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to her site so, the site is her first and last name then a .com. so here is the interview from her site:QUOTEThe Story Behind TwilightI get a ton of questions about how I came up with the story of Twilight and how I got it published. I may be killing my FAQ page by doing this, but here is the whole stor

How may of you people read the cherub booksplease vote in the pollpersonally i think there amazing ive read every book in the series and have found out there will only be 12 books altogether and i just wann akeep reading them!!
Has anyone here read "As I Lay Dying"? by William Faulkner. I recently had to read it for a literature class at the U. At first I was put off by the style it was written. (it had about 15 characters narrate the book). I guess it grew on me eventually,It was about a southern american family who tried to fulfill a mother's (and wifes) wish to be burried in a nearby city. Sounds a bit boring, but it was interesting, and I'm not even really into fiction anymore. at any rate, if any
Hey. This is my first post. I just wanted to know if anybody's heard of the CHERUB series by Robert Muchamore. It's a series of books for teenagers about a boy called James who is recruited into CHERUB. Criminals often use children to aid them in crime, CHERUB believes that they can use children to get back at the criminals. What is CHERUB?CHERUB is a branch of British Intelligence. Its agents are aged between 10 and 17 years. Cherubs are all orphans who have been taken out of care homes
