Question: I’m looking for a book called “Fiction”, can anyone help?
So this book I am looking for is titled “Fiction” and it is a book composed of short stories. The author’s name begins with a H.G, I think (Not H.G Wells). I was told the short stories were horror stories.
One of the stories is about a boy who lives in a very rural area and the boy is not very smart, but when he falls asleep, his dreams are very Intelligent.
I’m sorry if this sounds confusing but if anyone knows what book I’m talking about, can you tell me the author’s name?

Question: I am looking for a book. Can you help?
I do not know the name, only details of the book… It may sound stupid I am looking so hard for it, but to own it again holds great sentimental value to me. My grandmother gave me this book when I was 11 and it got me through years of hell with my abusive mother and after my grandma passed away 8 years ago, I lost the book and can not find it. Any who,
Any help would be appercaited, and Thank you ahead of time!
The book was about angels, a Hardcover picture had Cherub angels on the front and the book was filled with “non-fiction” short stories about guardian angels. I remember one story being about a mother who had to run back into her home for something leaving her 2 children in the car and a stranger appearing to stop the car as it rolled backwards down hill towards a lake and then the stranger disappeared. I cant recall any others but I would be so happy if someone could help me find this book or maybe remembers it from their childhood, it would mean alot to me. Thank you!

Hello, Nicole
I read your message and I couldn’t help but feel moved; so I gave up doing my english assignment and went for a bit of web-searching. Although I have not read the book you have described, I have found a possible match: it has a green cover (hardback) and has four cherubs peeking from behind the border of the image. It was published in 1996, so I guess it is of the right age.

Question: I’m looking for some “math fiction” books, as opposed to “science fiction.” Any ideas?
I’ve already read Flatland, and already know about some of that books “sequels.” Something similar to those might be nice, or any other ideas you might have. Thanks

Lifted from the gift list of titles relating to physics (for our son), which might serve your purpose:
The End of Mr Y by Scarlett Thomas. Quantum physics, time travel, you name it…
The Iron Bridge by David Morse; dystophic time-travel attempt to change the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in 18th century England.
The Witches of Chiswick by Robert Rankin: In an alternate timeline, Tesla teams up with mathematician Charles Babbage and create a highly advanced version of the 19th Century. Tesla’s perfection of wireless energy transfer combined with Babbage’s computer programming enable the pair to create autonomous robots, airships, and space-bound rocketships.
The Prestige by Christopher Priest: Tesla invents a device resembling the magnifying transmitter, but it succeeds in transmitting not just energy, but matter. The problem is that, while the machine transports matter to another location, it leaves the original matter behind, creating duplicates of objects, animals, and even human beings, with their memories intact.
Note that I haven’t read any of these, just copied down people’s recommendations. But who knows, maybe one of them will be perfect for you, eh?
I’m thinking about starting an online newspaper-type thing for my town, but I’ve never done anything of the sort. Right now, I just want to get started by learning more about journalism. Most of the writing I’ve ever done has been creative (fiction) and want to know what I’m doing before I approach anyone else about this idea.
