Phone Numbers Are Like Story Books

How many phone numbers have you had throughout the years? Two, three, five or more? Although you probably don't think anything of the previous ones you've owned and only care about your current one, did you know that each ten digits you once called your own are a chapter of your life?

How is this possible? Each telephone number you owned you may have had at different times of your life, such as your early childhood, teenage years, college days, etc. Although the numeric codes themselves wouldn't have given someone great insight as to who you were, they could provide other tidbits of information directly related to you, such as your name (or the name of a parent, roommate or lover who owned the line), your living situation, for instance where you lived or worked, the type of phone you used (residential/business landline or cell), and the telecommunications company that provided service to your device.

From these few details a person could choose to investigate and discover more including:
- The area where you lived - They could find out interesting details about the actual state, county and city where you live as well as find pictures.

- Your neighborhood - Find out where your street is located, see a map of the location and so on.
- About your business - If the ten-digit-number is related to a company an individual can check out where it's located as well as find out its purpose for existence.
- Etc.

In addition, now that the World Wide Web enables you to access telephone directories, even those that include wireless data, you have the ability to find out even more than the basics. This is because some databases can provide you with extra info about subscribers including demographics, info about neighbors, other people that live within their household and further public records details.

The Best Science Fiction Books of All Time

When it comes to what is the best science fiction books to read there is a wide selection to choose from. In fact a quick search online and you will soon discover that everyone has differing opinions to just which sci fi books would be considered to be the best.
In this article we look at some that seem to be quite popular on most of the best science fiction book lists today.

1. H G Wells - The Time Machine
This book, which was first published in 1895, has stood the test of time and is the oldest of all sci fi books, which appear here. It was H G Wells who first coined the term "time machine" and made us think it could be possible in the future to travel backwards and forwards through time.

2. Arthur C Clarke - 2001 A Space Odyssey
Not only is the author of this book one of the most well known of all science fiction writers he is one of the greatest as well. However, this book unlike many others was developed at the same time as the making of the Stanley Kubrick movie. The book only got published after the movie's release and yet is now one of the best recognised of all the science fiction books available today.

3. Douglas Adams - The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
This of all the best science fiction books in this article is one of the more comical among them. Along with its hapless main character Arthur Dent there are a host of other characters that really bring this book to life. Their journeys across the galaxies following the destruction of earth are amazing and all in the hope to find what the Question is to the Ultimate Answer.

Self Publishing Hardcover Books Made Easy

This article looks at the possibilities for self publishing hardcover books.
In traditional publishing, it is next to impossible to get a contract to publish a hardback book, unless you are a well known, high sales, best seller, blockbuster author, which most people simply are NOT. The good news for an author who really wants a hard back book published is that there are a lot of options these days. The area of self publishing has changed the publishing world forever, and that is great news for authors.

The main economic difference between self publishing and traditional publishing is that in self publishing, the author bears the cost of the printing process. While that might seem, to some, to be a bad thing, it is also important to bear in mind that the author also has near total control over the printing process, the choices of paper, print type, binding, book jacket (and the design thereof), promotion and marketing, and almost every other area of the production process. For an author who wants to publish her or his book in a very certain way, this is an unheard of level of control.

Self publishing hardcover books, is, naturally, more expensive than the other self publishing options (such as paper back books, ebooks, print on demand books, books on CD and so on), but that is expected; hard cover books are simply far more expensive than other books, no matter what the print production method.

There are still a lot of options available to one who wants a hard cover book printed. There are publishing houses who can and will produce a relatively low cost bound book (with or without a book jacket) and there are those who will produce a fine quality collector level volume from the best materials with hand crafted workmanship. The difference is, of course, price, and that is a decision that the author can make after comparing all the available options.

Not so very many years ago, an author would have had to have traveled to New YorK City to meet with the publishing houses who handle this sort of work. Now, however, an author can simply search the 'Net, contact the many possible publishers, submit manuscripts, make design and binding decisions, approve mark ups, and oversee the entire process without ever leaving his or her desk.

The publishers web sites are typically clear and easy to understand, with good photos of samples of their work, easy to follow instructions and guides, and a plethora of suggestions and tips to make the process easier for the author. Self publishing hardcover books is a reality. Source: Selfpublishinginc dot com, Louis Zhang

Best Mystery Books

Some of the best mystery books I have read are those I read when I was a kid. My first exposure to the genre came by way of the set of Nancy Drew mystery books that Mom got for me through a school-driven book-buying club. I couldn’t get enough of the series—Message in a Haunted Mansion, Secret of the Scarlet Hand, Danger on Deception Island…. I would stay up all night, of course, not so much afraid to turn the light out but concerned the details of the stories would change while I was asleep or that I would miss something I should read before daybreak.

As a teen, I moved from the basic mystery books (although said books are no less involved and just as developed as mature, adult mystery books) and started in the mystery/horror tales, including the fictional and true-crime-based works: these books did keep me awake out of fear—or terror—and did also keep me reading until I finished…to get the closure one needs with such enthralling, gut-griping, spine-curdling stories as those in The Mephisto Waltz, The Amityville Horror, and even The Exorcist.

More devoted mystery books readers will swear by the Agatha Christie Series or will recommend the more modern Sue Grafton novels. Similarly, others will speak highly of Mary Higgins Clark’s books or books by Jonathan Kellerman. I, too, would add that detective series and true-crime books are as exciting and incite as much fingernail-chewing as the best mystery books, especially, for example, those by John Sanderford, those by the brilliant Stephen King, and even a few of the master of “junk” novels, Sydney Sheldon.

And mystery book sellers and aficionados will add the hottest new authors to the list, contemporary mystery writers such as Martin O’Brian, Craig Johnson, and Melissa Swaim, Janet Evanovich, and Martha Grimes (as well as many others), who are revered at such sites as MurderbytheBook.com, an independent bookseller who appreciates good literature.

The mystery books genre is wide-ranging, so true bibliophiles (as opposed to genre purists) will allow for suspense, thriller, and other evocative works to be put on the mystery books list. It all depends, of course, on how much you read, what you prefer, and how much Mwoohahhah you can tolerate.
