Does your pet know what you're thinking? Rupert Sheldrake thinks so. As do animal communicators - they always say that they "talk" to animals by forming pictures in their head, which the animals can "read" and respond to in a similar manner. It may sound a bit out there, but just think about how cats disappear completely on the day they're supposed to be going to the vet, even though you apparently did nothing to give it away (like take out the carrier). But the thought... more...

Whether you're a dog owner, work with dogs, or just enjoy spending time with them (maybe you're volunteering at your local shelter or dog sit for traveling friends), these books are must-reads. They will, in various ways, help you understand dogs (and other animals) better, by teaching you how they think, move, and why they behave the way they do. Even the tiniest gesture means something when it comes to dogs, and by paying closer attention to your own reactions and gestures, you can i... more...

Audio books are sometimes the better way to "read" books. For people with a busy life style it is the only way they can take in books. They will listen to these audio books while driving and while doing household chores, and some people listen to audio books while working out. When audio books were first created they were not created as a way for busy people to read. They were created to help blind people that could not read print. This occurred in the year 1931. There were aud... more...

Sinclair Lewis was well known for a wide array of fantastic novles that not only affected, but even changed, American society.

"Mantrap" is a 1925 novel of Ralph Prescott, a New York lawyer who goes into the wilderness where he finds himself competing with an experienced woodsman for the attentions of his (the woodsman's) beautiful, bu... more...

Friends and parents and teachers some time or other will tell you the names of some books that you must read before you die. You may ask what is in a book. What is in a classic novel? Well!
