Anyone know of a good CANADIAN site to buy USED books online?

I want to find a Canadian site that sells a large selection of used books online. I don't want to deal with any U.S. sites, as shipping costs to Canada are too much. And I don't want to deal with Chapters or Amazon as I would rather buy used books at a fraction of the cost of new. Not eBay either! Any ideas?

You can try the following sites. I hope this helps.

I need books, websites, magazine articles, and reference books on the history of poetry. Questions that need answers include:

Go to a site called goodreads, and join some poetry clubs.

I would like to make print larger on face book.I tried clicking on page .but nothing?

I just bought a new computer and I find the print to be quite small on face book, I would like to make the print larger.

Didn't say what kind of computer, but if running Windows, see:

To change your system settings to large fonts, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Display.
3. On the Settings tab, click to select Large Fonts in the Font Size list, and then click OK.

NOTE: It may be necessary to restart Windows to apply the system settings change.

Other ways is to use the Ctrl + to enlarge or the Ctrl – to decrease font size on web pages temporarily. If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, you can do a Ctrl + move mouse wheel up/down.

Your browser will also do this for you by going to Options and setting the font size you want to use for web pages, but you have to select to over ride this. Not a good idea. Also, from your browser, you can go to View>Text Size and make changes.

Has anyone read the mystery books about Agent Aloysius Pendergast?

They are written by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. If so, can you tell me what they are and in what order to read them? I have read The Cabinet of Curiosities and The Book of the Dead, and enjoyed them very much!

Great books and Pendergast is a great character. He shows up briefly in Relic where he's introduced. I think you should read Still Life with Crows first. You'll learn a lot about the character. Then Cabinet of Curiosities, which you already read. Brimstone, Dance of Death, Book of the Dead and the newest Wheel of Darkness, should be read in that order, as it all builds off each other.

what is the best fiction and nonfiction books to read?

wanting to read a good book!

Well you have to pick and choose, there is soooo much out there, ENJOY!
Books that deal with a different culture: Wild Swans by Jung Chang and The good Earth by Pearl S Buck on China,
Max Frisch, Thomas Mann or Hermann Hesse as German literature,
Shadow of the Wind (Ruiz Zafon) Spain,
Emile Zola, Balzac, Stendhal for French literature,
Yasunari Kawabata and Yukio Mishima represent Japan,
Robert Graves 'I Claudius' is such a funny but educating novel on Rome.
The Stranger and The pest by Albert Camus on Algeria.
Crime and Punishment by Dostojevsky and the Death and the Penguin by Andre Kurkov as representatives of Russian literature.

Books written in a language that is demanding: Henry James, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, George Elliot, Edith Wharton, Evelyn Waughn, D H Lawrence.

for Scifi/Philosophy (because I think there can be a lot of overlap): Arthur C Clarke, John Wyndham, Isaac Asimov, Stanislav Lem
The time travellers wife" by Audrey Niffenegger
When Nietzsche wept by Irvin Yalom
Hermann Hesse's ‘Siddartha’ on Buddhism and ‘My Experiments With Truth’ by Gandhi, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance are three more of that category.

For Fantasy: Ayla and the clan of bears by Jean M Auel – Pre-historic novel, absolutely can not put down kind of book. How did the Neanderthals live? Anne McCaffrey wrote a series about 'The dragons on the planet Pern'

For Romance: The English Patient by Michael Ondantje or Atonement by Ian McEwan are tragic romances set in war times that are so smartly written, that you feel like reading a suspense thriller. Jane Austen, all the Bronte sisters, Daphne du Mauriers Rebecca are classics

Books that explain how literature uses its tools to influence the reader and present the basic psychological influences of language: David Lodge, 'The art of fiction' takes the 50 major novels and writes 2-4 pages each on what that novel did particularly exemplary in fiction.

Non-fiction:
‘Six easy pieces’ and ‘You must be joking Mr. Feynman’ by Prof. Richard Feynman are great funny books on Physics for lay people.
'The god delusion' by Richard Dawkins
'In praise of Idleness' by Bertrand Russell

“In 1877, two gentlemen, Messrs Tonnison and Berreggnog, head into Ireland to spend a week fishing in the village of Kraighten. While there, they discover in the ruins of a very curious house a diary of the man who had once owned it. Its torn pages seem to hint at an evil beyond anything that existed on this side of the curtains of impossibility. This is a classic novel that worked to slowly bridge the gap between the British fantastic and supernatural authors of the later 19th century and modern horror fiction. Classic American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft lists this and other works by Hodgson among his greatest influences.”

“The Ghost Pirates . . . is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power.” — H.P. Lovecraft

The Night Land
by William Hope Hodgson
[O]ne of the strangest visions ever published in science fiction or fantasy is presented. The Sun has gone out: the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, the Last Redoubt, probably the first arcology in literature, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a Circle of energy, known as the “air clog,” powered from the Earth’s internal energy. For millennia, vast living shapes – the Watchers – have waited in the darkness near the pyramid: it is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle’s power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human.¡ª Excerpted from The Night Land on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
