Q. What current novel is considered literature & at the same time is a New York Times or National bestseller? Does The Memory Keeper Daughter falls under this category. Some says that a bestseller that is also literature is called mainstream. Is that correct?

A. I haven't read any of his books yet, but I think Ian McEwan's novels fit the literary/bestseller category. Cormac McCarthy would also fit that description. If you haven't read McCarthy's "The Road" yet you should pick up a copy. It is a phenomenal book. Toni Morrison is another one.

A. Classic literature Timelessness A good piece of literature can be enjoyed by readers from generation to generation. That is timelessness. for example: Shakepeare's works are enjoyed as much today as they were when they were first written, hundreds of years ago. But why? How did he do it? Well, by carefully choosing his theme is one way. Theme A theme is the underlying meaning of a piece of literature. It usually includes an observation about life. It could be the moral of the story, a teaching or an observation of human experience. How Can You Determine a Theme? You are never actually TOLD what the theme is in a story. You determine the theme from the characters, action in a story. In short, you must determine the theme on your own. Some… [cont.]

A. Thanks to the recession, book sales (especially fiction) are soaring. See link below. Newspapers are a bad medium to be in; they really are dying off. It's just a sign of the times, not so much a byproduct of the recession.

A. The wonderful, Age of Reason was a time where philosophers placed an emphasis on reason as the best and ultimate method for learning. It explored issues in law and politics and education, while attacking social injustices and ignorance and tyranny. Could we ever come back to this time? This is a period where some many advances occur. Nowadays the advances occur in the gaming industry. (I hope you're purchasing that slim PS3 version that's coming out...do you want to be a fatty in the Wii crowd?) Voltaire is probably the most well-known figure of this time. He fought against bigotry and intolerance...and promoted the most rationalistic thoughts through his literary skills... If there is ever a book I could recommend, it'd be Candide. [cont.]

A. It depends what you are interested in, but some good ones, I think are as follows Lord of the Flies by William Golding --a bunch of English schoolboys are stranded on an island by themselves. They attempt to survive together and govern themselves, but it progresses into a savage existence. Very good. It is a representation of the idea that a society created by man fails, as well as the controversial argument of human nature. Much symbolism. Animal Farm by George Orwell --don't laugh--animals take over a farm, expelling all things human and try to create a civil society. However, they find themselves progressing towards the same existence they started with--but with different oppressors. A representation of the authority manipulation and… [cont.]

A. You are right about most of that. Furthermore though, most fiction was written by women, sometimes but not usually under psuedonyms (because fiction was the craft of women, not men). Furthermore, any sort of novels written in the time were usually epistolary and issued in serial publications. Most novels of the time, for example, Wieland by Charles Brockden Brown, were released chapter by chapter to a literary magazine and constructed in to a full novel for the modern reader. Most of the fictional literature was of a gothic/romantic type as well, with a female heroine and a mysterious male antagonist. You are correct about the diary/journal aspect. Especially those of early settlers and the native americans. They were seen as real… [cont.]

Who is a hero in history or literature who willingly gave credit for their accomplishments to someone else?
Q. I need to know for a screenplay. Who, in history or literature, either voluntarily became hated for the good of society or who did something great and gave the credit to someone else for the good of everyone. It's pathetic, but all I can think of is Batman from the Dark Knight, how he makes himself out to be a villain at the end so everyone venerates Harvey Dent. Also, I suppose the guy who allegedly wrote Shakespeare's plays would count. Anyone else?
