I've not read that one but it sounds like you enjoyed it.  \n\nOne of the best places I know of is the American Botanical Council.  Their link is below.  Most of their info isn't free but the memberships aren't terribly expensive and you have acces to monographs, controlled studies, etc.

I have.\n\nA very good book if you are into esoteric history.\n\nIf you are a Freemason, don't read it--for some reason it seems to really upset them.

Am not:) But if I was.. I'd say my favorite would be.. Yo Soy Betty La Fea. I believe it speaks about real issues and it has a strong, intelligent female protagonist as the title character.

Handmaids Tale is a great book with great concepts.  I have taught this book along with Orwell's 1984 and others for my senior english lit class.  \nThe book has a great deal to do with takeovers of society, the impact of inaction/action in society, and women's rights.  I enjoy teaching it to seniors because they are all turning 18 at the time (voting age) and they are inspired to vote to prevent government from taking over, or even burning books like in Bradbury's Farenheit 451!  \nIt is also great to use in debating!  Have fun.

I read that book too. I thought it was great. I could relate to the almost everything about her. It was a good book, and i would recommend it as an escape, from all the bad things in your life, and that it is overall a relatable book to any teen, turning a teen, has been a teen, and so on. I liked the book the most because i wanted to keep going and going. It wasn't boring or draggin. The plot always came back. I actually read that book, and loved it, and your real friends and teacher will love whatever you write.

Yes! I absolutely loved it! It is very mysterious and it really makes you think.

I love the novel. The glowing eyes, the 'is it a cat or Erik' mystery, the house on the lake, the torture chamber, the rat catcher, all of it.\n\nIt's a great novel, especially when begun with Gaston Leroux's sworn statement that the whole thing is true.

I love it all. And make it spicy. Pujabi food is great. I love malai kofta and naan. But then there's also dosha. Man that's good. \n\nCrap, now I'm hungry. Where can I get Indian food at two in the morning?

I read it and found the writing style difficult to get through. I was also outraged by the double standard.  Even if she had named her lover, she would still have had a harsher punishment than the man. I thought it was an interesting insight into the way people thought and believed in that time, and a warning for modern times not to think in such a backward way.\n\nI thought it was spooky the way her lover ended up with a Scarlet Letter embedded in his flesh, hidden away under his clothes. Was it his own guilt that caused it to appear? Was it some trick or poison the doctor gave him? Was it God's punishment?  The book doesn't make that clear, making the reader decide for him- or herself.

I've got the book, and haven't got round to reading it yet. I know what its about roughly though, didn't know pedophilia was a large plot point, but i knew sex was there a lot.\n\nSame can be said for the Anne Rice (Anne Roquelare) books, some call them smut, some call them art.\n\nGonna go read it now :)
