I have a 50$ gift card to use at chapters. Can anyone recommend some good fiction books to read. It doesn’t really matter what genre….but if you’ve read an excellent love story I’d like to know about it. (no, not romance novels…lol)

I also like Mystery.

How do you write a biography?

tweety♥123 asked:


I’m writing a two page biography on a famous author, and I’m wondering about the format. I borrowed a biography written about him from the library and the book is like 700 pages long. what kind of information should I focus on because I really don’t want to read the whole book ^-^. Also, it has both factual and personal information, so should blend the two types together, like one fact or an event followed by thepersonal perspective, or should I state all the facts first then the personal stuff? Also, how should I start it? Should it have a thesis like an essay, or do I just go in chronological order. I really need the help, thanks!
should I add my personal views too, like starting the report with: “He was the greatest writer of his time and genre” or something?

What is your favorite theme in works of science fiction ?

asked:


What is your favorite theme in science fiction movies, books, television or any form?

Is it the future or the past, time travel, space travel, alien worlds and visitors, fantasy worlds of the Dungeons and Dragons type, big brother totalitarian societies, paranormal or psychic phenomena or whatever? What type of theme do you enjoy most, why, and what is your favorite particular work or series of the entire genre?

This is not a question where you have to agree with what I happen to think, like so many questions are. Just make it the most interesting answer and earn some points!
