Are His New Books As Poignant As His Early Works?

sksongwriter @sksongwriter (200) • United States 26 Nov 08

Have you read some of Stephen King's newer books, such as "Duma Key" and found yourself as satisfied with the new novels as the early works? I find that Stephen King has pulled away from some of the more shocking aspects of his...

sksongwriter I have only read the first 5 books in the series, but I really enjoyed "Wizard and Glass." I loved the backstory about Roland and his posse and their adventures as youths. I found that this story gave a lot of insight into the character of Roland and how he...

sksongwriter I joined mylot to make money. I know that sounds shallow, but I am being honest. One day, I really want to buy a Corvette. Even though I can only make a few cents here a day, my thought is that every little bit helps. In addition, I love to write, so getting...

littlefranciscan @littlefranciscan (18327) • United States 26 Nov 08

The Declaration of Independence was drafted in 1776 and was really one of those documents of history that we were required to memorize..My most favorite part is: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created...

sksongwriter I have only ever read portions of it. It's beautifully written and contains a powerful message that is as poignant today as it was when originally written more than 200 years ago. It defines our country, who we are, who we strive to be, and it's a document...

What's so wrong with it?

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 26 Nov 08

Why are some people so opposed to boys playing with 'girl' toys, or playing dress up, or wanting to do what the girls are doing? I get so annoyed when I see parents punish their boys for playing dress up, for wanting to push a...

sksongwriter In the first half of the 20th century, men were viewed as providers, laborers and were not homemakers. A man was the dominant figure in the household, and his authority was unquestioned. He was a very masculine figure, often feared by children and used as a...

sksongwriter While I certainly respect the point you are trying to make, I am greatful for the people out there who are "wasting" their money. Every person that gets out there and spends a little money is actually bolstering this economny which has faced such a recession...

sksongwriter Interesting question. Like you, if I count only the ones I have actually owned, I have had 4 computers so far in my life. However, I have a computer that is mine through work, I have had computers at every job I have had for the past 10 years, and I have had...

What Is Your Dreamcar, Why and Do You Own One?

sksongwriter @sksongwriter (200) • United States 24 Nov 08

My dream car is a C5-C6 Corvette. I have wanted a Corvette since I can remember, but until recently, they have always been out of reach financially. I have always been enthralled with the American Sportscar, and nothing symbolizes...

sksongwriter The Mustang is definitely a sweet ride. My brother had one when we were younger (he had an 89 Ford Mustang GT with the 5.0HO V-8). That car was so much fun to drive and man was it fast. The newer ones really impress me, and I would love to get my hands on one...

sksongwriter My first car was a 1987 Ford Thunderbird Sports Coupe with a 5.0 V-8 engine. This car was completely loaded for it's time and was a real head turner. Of course, I wanted a Camaro instead of this car, so I never fully appreciated how cool a car it really was...

Do you care if someone isn't going to vote?

Sheepie @Sheepie (3112) • United States 1 Nov 08

My mom does not vote, nor has she ever. She doesn't know the first thing about politics. I don't think she even knows who Sarah Palin is. Or which ones are the Democrats. People beg her to vote, but I find that really absurd. They...

Favorite Author?

Robin55 @Robin55 (225) • United States 2 Nov 08

I am so enthralled by Stephen King's writing and absolutely love his books, even the ones written under other pen names. No one does horror like he does but many of his books are also about human nature and tell great stories....

sksongwriter I wholly agree with you about Stephen King. His ability to write characters is so completely amazing and he develops them in a way that makes them completely believable. Even the stranger, more surreal stories have a level of depth that few authors can really...
