Question: Comic Book readers – unfairly stereotyped?
Well, I’m 25, married, have a kid and my own place – I live a pretty normal life. I am the kind of guy who finds a ton of things interesting – I love music (virtually every type!), history, sports, philosophy and comic books. I’m not the kind of guy who eats, breathes and sleeps comic books nor the kind who is going to lose sleep if they don’t get that Hulk #181.
A co-worker of mine were talking about E-Bay one day and great deals. I told him I got a lot of 20 Iron Man comics for 99 cents – he paused for a second and called me a ‘geek’ because “only nerds/geeks read comic books.” Well, I felt kind of PO’ed by the stereotype – and it made me seriously wonder: Are people who read comics unfairly stereotyped? It’s OK for people to read books but if someone just wants to unwind and read Batman or The Flash, it’s ‘nerdy’. I’m sure there’s other people who might be more athletic, etc who read comics…the stereotype of a 45 year old virgin who lives with his parents is completely sickening and wrong
To be honest, I hate stereotypes and lumping people in collectives/groups…it’s as if some people never grew out of that high school mentality [e.g. labeling people jocks, nerds, goths, etc.].

Question: I need to find songs to go with this book?
I know this is long, but please help me.
I have just finished reading the book “Acceleration” by Graham McNamee. It was a great book, but now i need some help. I have to find 8 songs (preferably from the last 15-20 years) that represent scenes from the book and make liner notes for them. I have no idea where to begin looking for songs. If you have any idea on what i could use, please please please post.
This is a link to the summary of the book——>This book takes place in the town of Toronto, Canada. A delinquent teen named Duncan is troubled teen that does crimes with his friends and has a job at the lost and found. During one of his days on his job at the lost and found he stumbles upon a mysterious diary lurking around while cleaning the lost and found area. This diary belongs to a serial killer who stalks some women that he sees and his targets may soon be hunted.
Duncan takes action by reading the diary to find out who can this person be but gives up on trying to find the serial killer and decides to give it to the police. But due to his delinquent behaviors he finds himself uneasy when going to the police and they think that this is a joke. Now Duncan takes it upon himself to find the serial killer at all costs so that no one gets hurt. During his quest to find the killer, he breaks into the killers house and gets stabbed. He is chased to the Subway tracks and they both fall in. The killer gets run over, but Duncan survives.
This is just a brief summary. Some scenes that would be good to find music to are:
1. his fear of water after watching a girl drown
2. looking for a serial killer
3. a song from the serial killers point of view of stalking people
4. being chased by the killer, etc.
any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much in advance. I’m sure you can find any additional info on the internet, or you can ask me.

How about:
1. Opening as the teens are sneaking around causing trouble: main theme from “Jaws,” the movie.
2. When he finds the mysterious diary, “Progeny,” from the movie, “Gladiator.
3. When realizing the diary belonged to a serial killer, the screech-screech-screech sound from “Psycho.”
4. Fear of water: There are several pieces from the soundtrack to “The Dark Knight” that would work.
5. Looking for and being chased by a serial killer, pick what you need from the battle scene in “Gladiator.”
6. From the killer’s point of view, “The Capponi Library” and “Virtue” from “Hannibal.”
Sound tracks are easy to use because they were also written for moods and various scenes that also apply to your story.
Question: Has anyone ever done the Key in the book? What logical explanation makes it work?
Dunno if I’m in the right department for this question. Years ago when I was a teen my friends and I used to do “the Key in the Book”. It acts like a ouija board, You have a book, you have a Key stuck in the middle of the book and you tie the book tight so the key doesn’t fall out. Between two people they balance the key on one of their index fingers each with the book hanging below, you then ask the book questions stating move right or left for yes and no.
I don’t belive in spirits but you can actually get the book to sway left or right as if it answers your questions, we even managed to make the book sway left to right in rythmn of whatever music was playing.
How is this possible, I’ve read with ouija boards people can subconciously make a planchette move without realising, but with the key in the book one person is balancing one side of the key while another balances the otherside, there is no control to make the book move deliberately in either direction nevermind make it dance to music.

Question: Does anyone like the Twilight movie better than the book?
I know someone who likes the movie better than the book.
Now you can’t say they’re a tween, because this person is 20.
She started reading the book, but said it was “tedious” and “boring”
Maybe people feel more intelligent by criticizing the movie, or even the book.
Like they’re better or above it all, and have a higher taste of literature or the arts…
Same with people who hate mainstream music…
They don’t want to become “fangirls”?
I just hear SO MANY “I LoVE THE BOOK BUT THEY RUINeD THE MOVIE! THE BOOK WAS SO MUCH BETTER!”
do you really think so?
I thought so when I first saw the movie. I thought “wow that wasn’t as good as the book”
Then I read the book again, and thought “Wow this is actually kind of boring”.
I struggled to get through it. Maybe it was just the large print?
Or that it’s over talked about..
***The movie was low budget, and not very well done.
It’s hard to understand without reading the book, which most of the fans had already done.
Some were confused.
But it was definitely not about the acting skill or “special effects” 
You can’t really compare movies to books.
It’s hard…you can’t please everyone.
Part of the fun is having actors to see, instead of imagining and fantasizing about them…not that I do that.
It can be disappointing to see the actors though.
Answer:
Answer by Em
The movie was decent, but it was a low budget Indie. I adore the Twilight Saga, but the books aren’t that great.
I have no idea why they’re so addicting since it’s such bad literature.
Crack/Cocaine in the binding?
Maybe.
Quality story line?
No.
Question: Is this a good band name, Magical Book of Alice?
I’m thinking about naming it. Magical Book of Alice. For a couple reasons. One, it sounds psychedelic and the band is going to be psychedelic. Also. I write music in what I call, the “Magical Book” Don’t ask… And finally, I wanted the band to be named after Alice, from Alice in Wonderland, mostly cause she is such a cool character, and the movie is pretty much an acid trip. Is this a good name (don’t just say no to be funny) and maybe add cool band names that have to due with Alice in Wonderland. Peace.

Question: Where can I find chapter summaries of the book “Nineteenth-Century Music” by Carl Dahlhaus?
This book is really tough to get through, even after having been translated into enlgish. To make things worse, I have ADD, so reading anything is enough of a challenge. I need to find summaries of each chapter of this book so I will have a general idea of what to look for when reading the chapter.
*Note* I have already checked sites like Sparknotes, so please only respond if you have a more specific resource. Thank you.

Question: Can you license a book like music? Does that prevent people from reselling it? Legal / Copyright Issue?
My husband bought a real estate how-to book and it has this warning in the front:
“All of our materials are protected under federal and state copyright laws………. All matierals you buy are licensed (or, in the case of other author’s works, sublicensed) to End Users and not sold, notwithstanding use of the terms “sell” “purchase” “order” or “buy” on the Site. Your license is nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable, limited and for use only for you, the end user, and you ONLY. That means YOU CANNOT SELL, TRADE, COPY, ASSIGN, LEASE OR LICENSE YOUR RIGHTS IN THESE MATERIALS.”
Now, I understand what that means… but is it actually true? I thought a copyright was a copyright… and not a license. I thought a license was something that came with music and movies. People resell books all the time… entire industry of reselling books… So what’s up with this disclaimer? Is it valid? How do you make something ‘licensed’ instead of just ‘copyrighted’? How can I verify this ‘license’ exists? Does it exist just because this page says it exists?
Nothing in the book (which is really just a binder full of photocopies that they made and sold) actually says the usual license warning stuff that’s on the back of CDs and movies. All it says is ‘Copyright 2005 All Rights Reserved”.
The reason I want to know is because, without having read this warning, I listed it on eBay and the ‘copyright owner’ keeps having it flagged down, saying I’m not allowed to resell it. It’s driving me nuts. I feel like I got scammed…
If it matters, this is regarding the book “Apartment House Riches” by Dave Lindahl. Hint… do not buy it if you plan on reselling it once you’ve read it.
Answer:
Answer by zucca
You can license (or sublicense) any or all rights in ANY copyrighted work, which includes books. That means that the author of the book can grant a license to a publishing house to reproduce and distribute her book.
This does not mean you can’t resell the book. That’s not what a license means. What it means is you can’t go to Kinkos, make copies of the book, and sell it in a bookstore. You are perfectly free to sell your own copy of the book that you bought at a bookstore.
There’s a difference than the object that contains the copyrighted material (your book) and the copyright itself. The transfer of the book to you did not transfer any of the copyright to you. You just bought a copy. Under the “first sale doctrine,” you are perfectly free to resell the book.
Question: What was your interpretation of the ending of this book?
I would just like to know what you thought about the ending of the book “The Giver” by: Lois Lowry. I am kinda confused but I think the possible sound of music Jonas heard might have meant that his old community changed…?
Answer:
Answer by Kei
He found the other places in the world, where things are not the same as in his own community. The music indicates that this is a place that has music and art and color and life, unlike his home community.
That’s what I think happened. (If you read Gathering Blue and Messenger, the sort-of sequels, it kind of says this.)
But the interpretation I like better is that they died. Because all of that–the sled and the Christmas trees and everything–is so unrealistic. It makes more sense as a dream/hallucination. And it’s beautiful and sad that way. So that’s what I like to think, but I don’t believe it’s what the author meant.
