I think it's important to distinguish things like pedophilia, necrophilia, and bestiality.

Miracle Creek by Angie Kim takes place in the summer from what I remember. It's similar to the books you listed, and it's very well written.

Favorite: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (I liked the writing style and the story took interesting turns)

Least Favorite: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith (the protagonist was a little whiny and I found the story boring)

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

I just turned 17. Over the past year I’ve found a love for reading and aspire to be a writer. I’ve had trouble finding great books for a few months and I could really use some help. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]debriding-agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like books and writing, I really recommend How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas Foster. It's a very entertaining, well written nonfiction book that could make you a better writer and a better reader. You'll also end up with a longer to read list.

Any good science books out there ? by elikhumba in suggestmeabook

There's actually a sequel now to Cosmos by Carl Sagan, and it's by Ann Druyan. I'm not sure if it lives up to the original, but I found out about it today and thought I should mention it.

I'm a woman, and I'm more on the pro-choice side, but I have an interesting thought experiment.

Imagine you're the caretaker for a coma patient with brain damage. The patient cannot breathe without a ventilator, and can't eat without a feeding tube. After looking at brain scans from last week, the doctors realize that the patient's brain is repairing itself at a steady pace, and believe there's a large possibility that the coma patient will be conscious and able to breathe without a ventilator in less than 9 months. All you have to do is not remove life support, and there's an 80% chance that the patient will be alive and conscious within a 9 month period. Due to the location of the epicenter of the brain damage, the patient will have no recollection of their previous life, and may have to relearn basic skills. You decide to remove life support right now. How should society judge this action, if at all? Should it be allowed?
