He used to be my favorite writer but now it's all gotten sort of old. I'll keep reading his stuff but after Invisable Monsters and Fight Club I don't know how it could get any better. Also he started to try and write horror rather than his weirdo philosophical stuff. he took a different path, one th...

If you want to write, you must read...a LOT! *nods* My advice: decide on one or two genres you would like to write in, and read as many books from that genre or genres as possible. For example, I want to break into fantasy fiction most of all, so I read a lot of fantasy novels. I prefer to write in...

On his Wikipedia entry it said that this was going to be the last of the main story in the wheel of time whether or not it was 1500 pages. I've not read anything of Robert Jordan's but I do plan to dive head first into the wheel of time some time soon. Does anyone here read Xanth novels? I sort of w...

Well I also live in a poor country. And I think Charles got more or less right. There will always be some form of copyright. Say if the NBA Finals or the WWE want to use a certain song in their opening montage. But what the companies have to do is make quality/speed/usability/accessibility the key f...

Okay lets say its my problem and I can't understand it. What are you going to do about it? Will you allow the government to confiscate my computer? Or enter my home? How about the BitTorrent sites that exist outside the US? Will we have other countries invade people's homes? Where does it stop? Look...

FYI: http://manybooks.net/ is a source for legit free ebooks (many Gutenburg books). I think that even though it may be wrong there isn't anything you can do about it without severely stepping on people's rights so maybe it's wrong but since there isn't anything we can do about it we have to let th...

Do you intend to give it to others? If so, you're wrong. Do you intend to copy it to make sure you have a future copy if something happens to your computer? If so, fine, no problem with me. I think that even though it may be wrong there isn't anything you can do about it without severely stepping on...

Very well put. A couple things though. I agree to a certain degree that people will buy certain products if they're reasonably priced. For example my favorite band's anniversary boxset. Or hard cover set of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. But I think that comes just from the collector mentality. And ...

You guys are missing my point. For one music companies did try to plant poisoned and fake music files. It didn't work because once someone realized the were bad they stopped being shared. Second, why would people have to adjust? Markets adjust to people and technology its the way its always been it'...

Why would we quit this website and shut it down? And why wouldn't we write if we knew we weren't going to rich? And file sharing being available don't you think its impossible to really stop it? without becoming totalitarian? If you were going to buy a Steven King book and at the book store one was ...

Well at least in my comment I don't anybody would be selling their books for higher prices if anything the books would become available for completely free. Stephen King probably did continue writing because what he made wasn't enough for him to continue but if we were bringing in the same amount of...
