Okay, no offense, but "Harry Potter" has NO literary value.

With that in mind, some personal favorites for literature/with literary value include (authors in parentheses) For Whom the Bell Tolls (Hemingway), The Grapes of Wrath (Steinbeck), Blood Meridian (McCarthy), Heart of Darkness (Conrad), The Lord of the Rings (Tolkein), No Country for Old Men (McCarthy), The Count of Monte Cristo (Dumas), A Light in August (Faulkner), The Iliad (Homer), The Odyssey (Homer), and To Have and Have Not (Hemingway).I could list more, but those should keep you occuppied for a while.

Some books that I read just for fun (not really literature): the Discworld series (Pratchett), The Dark Tower series (King), A Song of Ice and Fire series (Martin), and just about anything by David Baldacci.

Hope that helps.

Harry Potter definitely has literary value. Those books you read for fun are legit too. I won't debate with you on it. Most of the other books you recommended are terribly boring (or I've already read in school). Thanks though.

Read The Iliad by Homer. It will blow your socks off.zakkro

read last year...i didnt like as much as the odyssey...too repetitive...achilles was a jerk..and it gave away the ending at the beginning...thnx tho

How are you being used or following a fad here?CptJSparrow

i guess tool could be the wrong word. but yeah shallow/fake is part of it. imagine if someone says wow you have really nice eyes. then i have to be like "theyre colored contacts." and people that know my true eye color might think differently of me. i know if i got say blonde highlights people would think totally differently of me (considered queer/fake/dumb looking), but i guess colored contacts arent as obvious.

I have nothing against colored contacts. However, the ones that change your eyes into leopard eyes and things like that are a little weird.metallica_fan42

fosho...ha...i mean if i look better with colored contacts i think id want them ha

I'm near-sighted (can see upclose fine) and have glasses, but don't wear them often enough. They don't look bad on me, I just don't know if I like them or like to carry them. I hear colored contacts are good because you can see them easily when putting them on. Also, I think it would be cool to maybe have blue eyed contacts or whatever (I have brown/hazel eyes). Basically, do you think it's kind of fake (being a tool or whatever) to get colored contacts as opposed to regular contacts? Or should I go for it?

I created a small 100x56 pixel logo in photoshop. I need to upload it to a site, but the maximum file size is like 20KB. Must be JPEG. How can I save the file without decreasing the quality so much? TY

example of file size i want (right click properties for size):

example of what I have:

So I rented two DVD's yesterday. One of them worked fine on all of my DVD players, the other failed to work on both. It popped up on my desktop with a Sony thing that said play this dvd which i clicked and it brought me to windows media player but then didnt play. on my other computer it loaded in intervideo but then would only play sound and not video. so i brought it back thinking it was an error in the cd (especially cuz it was all scratched) and they gave me the same movie, new disc. It still wont work. idk what i could be doing wrong...i tried another dvd and it worked fine....i also tried playin in vlc...how can i get this dvd to play on my computer? ty

btw the dvd is "21" ty
