Bestseller List 2006 Questions and Answers



Resolved Question: Shall anyone write the following article in another way, please, 10 points for sure!?

When Elie Wiesel was Born: 1928 Sighet, Transylvania (now in Romania) Elie Wiesel's Background: Wiesel's parents, Shlomo and Sarah Wiesel, were Orthodox Jews. His father ran his own grocery store and was active in the community. Wiesel had three sisters, Hilda, Beatrice and Tzipora. Elie Wiesel's Holocaust Experience: When Wiesel was 15, he and his family were forced by Nazis into a Jewish ghetto and then deported to Auschwitz–Birkenau. His mother and younger sister, Tzipora, were killed at Auschwitz. He and his father survived together for one year, but his father died shortly before American troops liberated the camp. 'Night' by Elie Wiesel: Wiesel describes his experience during the Holocaust in Night, which was first published in French in 1958 as La Nuit. Night has been translated into more than 30 languages. Wiesel released a new English translation of Night in 2006, which was translated by his wife, Marion Wiesel. The new translation was chosen for Oprah's Book Club, propelling it on to the bestsellers lists. Elie Wiesel's Other Writings: Wiesel has published more than 40 fiction and nonfiction books. After the Holocaust: After the war, Wiesel lived in a French orphanage where he learned French and found his two older sisters, Hilda and Beatrice. Wiesel began studying philosophy at the Sorbonne in 1948. He became a professional journalist, but refused to write about or discuss his Holocaust experience for 10 years after the war. Wiesel moved to the U.S. in 1955 and became a U.S. citizen in 1963. Teaching: Wiesel is the Andrew Mellon Professor of Humanities at Boston University. Humanitarian Work: Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 for speaking out against violence and oppression. Shortly afterward, he and his wife started the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity to combat indifference, injustice and intolerance.please help, please! more

Resolved Question: Has anyone read "The Book of Useless Information"?

It is a "fact book" by Noel Botham. It was published in 2006. They even have a "Useless information Society". I normally wouldn't name names like this, but this drivel was actually on the New York Times Bestseller List. Half the book has "facts" that come off the internet (and each site steals from each other), verbatim! There are many "facts" in here that are not facts at all. Here's one example: (quote):"H2O expands as it freezes and contracts as it melts displacing the exact same amount of fluid in either state. So, if the nothern ice cap did melt, it would cause absolutely no rise in the level of the ocean." Oh really? What about all the ice that is ABOVE SEA LEVEL? This book is so ridiculious, I don't know why it would be on the BestSeller's List! more

Resolved Question: What's the title of this bestselling book?

I remember it was on the bestseller list in either 2006 or early 2007. It was called something like "Completely Useless Facts" or "Factoids" or something like that. There was a lot of hype about this book. It was a humorous book about trivial facts. Can anyone remember? The author was male, but that's about as much as I can recall. Help me out, book lovers :-) more

Resolved Question: English 2 Honors, Summer Reading Quest.?

Okay, well i need help on finding some books to read over the summer for my English 2 Honors Class. I have to read a Current Contemporary American Fiction book.
