Write a letter or message to either the author of the book you're reading, or a major character in the book. What are you most curious about asking, and why?

If you're writing to the author, give them some advice on what has worked well in the book and what hasn't, and what might work well for a sequel.

If you're writing to a main character in the book, give them some insight or advice about how they might improve their situation or standing in the book and make things better for themselves or other characters.

Dear Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
I can't believe what you had to go through when you were a teenager like me, and to fight to become a professional soccer player is like the icing on a cake. in the book you said you had to steal your coaches bike to get to practice or games, was it that difficult for transportation? One day I wanna become a professional soccer player, but the thing that kills me is the laziness! What helps your motivation? What keeps you going? Because as a teenager you showed me that for you it was just to hard.

I am really enjoying your story. So far it has been very intense. I love that you create such an intimate connection with the reader. There is only one thing that bothers me. I don't like the titling of your chapters. I wish they were more creative. After all, you are the author and it is your choice. Your story is very inspiring. I admire the courage you display throughout the book. I think that a sequel might be interesting. The sequel takes place right after your divorce. It would follow you throughout the course of two to three years. Maybe in the future you have children. Maybe you have a much nicer husband than before. I am sure everyone else who reads this

Nuridin Wilkerson | 10 comments The title of my book is, "Play their hearts out"
Dear Keller,

I like the way you teach the kids about how tough the game is and how you make everyone responsible for what they do. It shows that you care, but i think that you should not have let the whole situation with "Owning" Tyson Chandler overcome you. You should learn how to accept that you were able to give him the basic needs he needed in life to get to the NBA. You seem like a good person so keep up the good stuff.

Why we're you so hung up with a boy for a week and decided to marry him and kill yourself? -_- I think you shoulda kept it on the DL and more low key and took your time.

if u had retreated and stayed with the hobbits you could have survived and prevented the hobbits from being captured instead of getting captured

I like your book because of how u keep the main characters name hidden form us in the beginning and middle of the story it really makes the reader wonder why ?

Emily | 21 comments Dear Emily Rapp,

I like your book, The Still Point of the Turning World because I want to know how your son, Ronan got Tay-Sachs disease. How did he get the disease? Did his brain shrink, or go into a different shape? I hope that if you write another book, you can write about if you want a new child and to restart your family and also what was it like for Ronan to die.

I am really enjoying your book. I like the you tell story from Percy point of view. What seems to bother me is that there really isn't a good description of the action scenes, but anyway I am enjoying the so keep it up....

Nicolas R. | 22 comments Dear Captain Picard,

You should know that your counterparts, while mirror versions of yourselves, still share similarities with you. If you have to face your counterpart he will most likely be as intelligent and skilled as you are. There must be a reason he got command of his Enterprise, and in a world where assassinating a superior for move up in rank is expected, who knows what that is. Maybe you can put Troi or Riker aboard the other Enterprise since you know more about their mirror selves then the other ones. Also if they have a Data, it may be to similar to Lore (if you forgot the older brother of your Data). Mirror Data may or may not emotions.

I think its great that you two decided to go on this adventure to find your parents but I feel it also sucks that they are missing in the first place and I wonder what does this organization has to do with it.

Mohammed Saab | 13 comments Dear- Nassim Nicholas Taleb


I would like to say that your book , " The Black Swan" is a great book. I would like to state that you showed and explained your opinion very well. I would like to say though, many times in the book you went against your stated opinion. I was wondering why would you do that? Was there a point that miss understood? I would really like to know.

Christian Torres | 2 comments Dear Brian Winter

I can't believe that you made it through that horrible accident, and especially as a teenager, it takes a real strong person to survive for as long as you did in that forest, and to keep hope in the back of your mind even at the worst of your times spent stranded there, I also wanted to know how your doing now, has your life ever felt the same since the accident? And what have you learned from this?
