Sonnet 18, "Shall I Compare Thee To A Summers Day" is a good starting place. If you like that passage, try "A Midsummer Night's Dream". \n\nhttp://www-tech.mit.edu/Shakespeare/midsummer/full.html\n\nBe warned. Shakespeare seemed to hide a lot in his writings. The Bard is bawdy.\n\nhttp://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1739819,00.html\n\nAlso, for an easier read that is full of wit, sarcasm and humor, try Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain. "Life On The Mississippi" is one of my favorite reads.

I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble. I'm having trouble helping you interpret the question being that I haven't read that particular novel. I wish you the best of luck, but I can tell you that several people in your class are probably having the same trouble. So, any interpretation of the question that you would have would certainly be better than nothing!! ;)

If you're looking for books, I would reccomend Geography Club by Brent Hartinger and it's sequal the Order of the Poision Oak (although I think that Oak is the weaker book).  For younger teens there is Totally Joe by James Howe, and even though it is targeted towards a middle school audience, I loved it and I'm 23.  I've also heard good things about Chior Boy by Charlie Anders, which is about a young trans kid, in particular from other young genderqueer people.  The Laramie Project is a great play to read or see, and I actually enjoyed the play Angels in America, although it has a very 80's feel to it.  \n\nOn Tv things have been rather depressing, as L Word continues to slide from mediocrity into downright sh*ttyness.  It makes me miss Queer as Folk, which is still the best gay tv show EVER.  It was socially and politically relevent, ground breaking and explicit, heartwarming and heartbreaking, all in one.  Nothing compares.  Unless you want to pick up the 4th-7th season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD and watch the character of Willow go from bookish heterosexual Jew to lesbian witch to big bad witch and finally to finding her own tenative identity.  \n\nIn film, you have Capote, Brokeback Mountain, and TransAmerica this year, all of which I highly reccomend.  Also Fire, a 1997 indie film about lesbian hindu women is AMAZING.  And if you've never seen Latter Days or Tipping the Velvet, they are worth your time but nothing amazing.  Go Fish is supposed to be a lesbian classic, but I thought it was terrible.  The Trip is a good movie, but not great, the first half is neat but the second half is kinda spotty.

You should read.  Read a good book, or something so that you can learn.  Going to the gym is good, but not all of the time.  Movies and video games are too, and occasionaly an extra nap - although if you would go to the gym more often you wouldn't need to sleep as much.  Here are some books that I've read that were pretty good:  "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card, along with the other books in the series: "Speaker for the Dead", "Xenocide", and "Children of the Mind".  They were really interesting, and really fun to read.  Then there is the "Hitchicker's Guide to the Galaxy" series by Douglas Adams.  Really funny:  a lot better than the newer movie:  I read the book before even any trailers came out, and it was really good.  Then, there are some classic books that are pretty good.  Mark Twain is really great; maybe a book of short stories.  Reading is great, man.  If you're not into reading, go to the gym and then play PS2, so you get more than one activity in.

I'm not a high schooler, I'm a college goer but I SHAN'T BE EXCLUDED!! I'm studying psychology (I'm a FRESHMAN!!! :D...or should I say freshwoman?) so I read a lot of texts pertaining to that field. I also read many Psych-related books outside of school. I like self-help books and novel's centered around the mentally unsound...lol! I love psychological thrillers; forensic-based mysteries are also terrific reads :).

OMG... I read that book when I was a kid and don't remember.  But I can tell you that Jane was a young child being raised by her ungrateful relatives, which put Jane in a girls home.\n\nJane grew up to be a nice young woman and became a teacher and got a job teaching a little girl in this rich mans house with nanny's and all.\n\nAnyway, Jane taught piano, math, French and other studies.  From what I remember, the little girls father became fond of Jane.  Jane toward the end leaves for a new job because I guess the had to leave the place with the father wanting Jane and all.\n\nSo, I do remember about a fire in the mansion which left the father blind.  Jane eventually went back to the mansion to visit and found his was blind and stayed with him to take care of him.\n\nThat book has always touched me since I was a little girl.\n\nI know I did not answer your question, but I enjoyed what I wrote.  It made me think of the book and Jane again.

"The 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear" by Walter Moers. A book so good it's the only one I ever immediately started re-reading as soon as I got to the end.\nIf you want something to just dip into now and again then "English as She Is Spoke: Being a Comprehensive Phrasebook of the English Language, Written by Men to Whom English Was Entirely Unknown" is absolutely hysterical - it's a phrasebook for Portuguese travellers to England, but the translations are more like something from that Monty Python "Hungarian Phrasebook" sketch.

My favorite book is Timeline by Michael Crichton. It is a very exciting read, and I love the combination of futuristic technology and medieval times into one story.

That is a hard question I have over two hundred books in my personal library and have read at least double that. What exactly are you looking for? An overview or something more in depth on a particular subject.\n\nEmail me and I can steer you in the right direction.

That was actually one of my favorite books. You just sparked a memory! You have 2 days. It's not that big of a book. Read it, really!

I hope this will help. Check up on  Emma Donoghue.\nHer site lists many of Her works and gives sites where they can be purchased.\nI believe that this is her site..\nhttp://www.emmadonoghue.com\nAs a special favor, could you let me  know how you get on ?\nNot all her stories are strictly lesbian but 2 of my favorites are 'What Sappho Would have Said" and " The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits|.\nThank heaven for a sensible question. Bless you love. Rose P.

Why would you read the conclusion? That ruins every story...I think you mean comments or i=what is on the back cover. Some great books are Watership Down, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, good fantasy with morals and leads to a lot of immagionation. I hear goo stuf about harry Potter series/ not just for kids really.
