The Elements Of Style

QueenOfHearts — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 19:03:02 GMT

I picked up this book by Strunk & White on our latest magazine's suggestion under "10 Must-Have Grammar and Style" books.

Has anyone else read it? How has it helped your writing?

Looking for good outlets for used books for writers

Besides Amazon on the Internet, has anyone found another good source or two for good used books for writers like short story techniques, writing novels, books for dialogue, etc? Thanks in advance for your pointing for me. Bill

Interested in Short Stories

rayvinonk — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 21:22:55 GMT

To The Writer Community ...

I've been an avid reader for years and have only recently started paying attention to short stories. (Shameful, I know.) I honestly never thought that I would like the genre; but, I've found that for the most part I do. I would welcome any suggestions regarding worthwhile short story collections. I've purchased quite a few; but am interested in purchasing many more.

Most recently, I've read How to Breathe Underwater by Julie Orringer (loved it) and Bring Me Your Saddest Arizona by Ryan Harty (haven't yet finished, but have mostly enjoyed thus far). I've also managed to acquire collections by Charles Baxter, Thomas Beller and Andre Dubus. I do own a few ... oh, what's the word ... anthologies, that's it! I've bought a couple of the Best Short Stories of ... collections and one O'Henry Prize collection.

Please, please, please feel free to suggest many, many more. I would be most appreciative.

Twilight Series

lwHSH — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 03:26:39 GMT

Before christmas break (yes, still in school here, only 15) one of my friends told me about the Twlight series. I read the first one and was absolutely hooked. I got a gift certificate for borders for christmas and the first thing i bought were the second and third books in the series. i read them them in 3 days back to back. Until i reread Eclipse (the third one) i couldn't even separate what was in the second book from the third.

So i guess i want to know what everyone thought of the books. I thought they were amazing. I absolutely love Stephanie's writing style. There's something about the characters, her writing style, and the type of book that just all put together creates the best book i think i have ever read. When Bella was depressed, i would litterally start getting depressed my self. The last chapter of Ecplise had be crying 3 days after i read it if i would just think about it.

It's hard for me to get so hooked on a series (only other time i have been is with harry potter a few years ago). I have tried reading Eragon and other similar books, but none have caught my intrest. So my other question is any suggestions for books to read while i await the release of the next book?

Three Days Of Darkness

This ebook reveals that the Church is supposed to know when Jesus is coming back. They have misinterpreted Jesus' words in Matthew 24. The statement that no man knows the day nor the hour, was not a statement about Jesus' return. It was a statement about the destruction of heaven and earth. This occurs because of the Father showing His face. Revelation 20. Read about the sign Jesus left to those who would listen. There is a definite sign which will occur just before Jesus returns. Jesus called it "The sign of the Son of Man."

A very good read.

Life list of books

tdkerst — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 14:29:29 GMT

Does anyone else keep a "life list" of books you've read? I suppose mine is more like a half-life list of books I've read (with authors and date completed) since I started it 25 years ago, when I was in my mid 30s. I wish I had started it when I was younger, as it allows me some insight to what reading journeys I was on at specific moments of my life.

Love to read and write

I adore romance novels, and short stories.

Any romance readers out there?

dreamwriter27 — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 22:40:45 GMT

I am a HUGE fan of eHarlequin novels and love reading a variety of books from their Blaze or Super Romance books. Has anyone read any of these books? If so, let's form a book club and discuss some stories together! They're great! :)

Looking for suspense book recommendations.

rdwriter — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:02:03 GMT

I'm just about done with my last batch of books I picked up at the used bookstore, and I'm ready to head out and pick up a few more. I prefer suspense/murder/mystery, with a dab of romance (but that part isn't necessary).

Anybody have any favorite authors or books they can recommend?

Harry Potter, Artimus Fowl, Eragon, Lord of the Rings

swimmer337 — Fri, 31 Dec 2004 03:04:16 GMT

There all so good, I don't know which one to post about. Where one fails, the others easily fill in.
