I can't remember the title or author of a book I read in the mid to late 1990's. Pleas no spam?

I can't remember the title or author of a book I read in the mid to late 1990's. Pleas no spam! The main character was a young monk at a monastery where they traveled to a special island once every so often where stones would rain from the sky.

They would polish them and each different type of stone had special powers, ie. Rubies produced fire, tiger eye allowed the trained user to turn his arm into a tiger claw, powers range from load stone which allows out of body and possession of another, to amethyst which the main character smashes in the final battle to defeat the demon. The young monk runs away from the monastery and takes many stones with him.

The abbot sends a fanatical monk to hunt him down, and all the wile there is a demon that has awoken, and is trying to get the stones for some other purpose. It was a great read, and I would love to read it to my kids, if I could remember the title to find it. Can anyone help?

Read in the mid to late 1990's. Pleas no spam! Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately.

While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social networking spam, and file sharing network spam. Spamming remains economically viable because advertisers have no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, and it is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. Because the barrier to entry is so low, spammers are numerous, and the volume of unsolicited mail has become very high.

The costs, such as lost productivity and fraud, are borne by the public and by Internet service providers, which have been forced to add extra capacity to cope with the deluge. Spamming is universally reviled, and has been the subject of legislation in many jurisdictions.1People who create electronic spam are called spammers.2edit Spamming in different mediaedit E-mail spamMain article: E-mail spamE-mail spam, known as unsolicited bulk Email (UBE), junk mail, or unsolicited commercial email (UCE), is the practice of sending unwanted e-mail messages, frequently with commercial content, in large quantities to an indiscriminate set of recipients. Spam in e-mail started to become a problem when the Internet was opened up to the general public in the mid-1990s.It grew exponentially over the following years, and today comprises some 80 to 85% of all the email in the world, by a "conservative estimate".3Pressure to make e-mail spam illegal has been successful in some jurisdictions, but less so in others.

Spammers take advantage of this fact, and frequently outsource parts of their operations to countries where spamming will not get them into legal trouble. Increasingly, e-mail spam today is sent via "zombie networks", networks of virus- or worm-infected personal computers in homes and offices around the globe; many modern worms install a backdoor which allows the spammer access to the computer and use it for malicious purposes. This complicates attempts to control the spread of spam, as in many cases the spam doesn't even originate from the spammer.

In November 2008 an ISP, McColo, which was providing service to botnet operators, was depeered and spam dropped 50%-75% Internet-wide. At the same time, it is becoming clear that malware authors, spammers, and phishers are learning from each other, and possibly forming various kinds of partnerships. Citation neededAn industry of e-mail address harvesting is dedicated to collecting email addresses and selling compiled databases.4 Some of these address harvesting approaches rely on users not reading the fine print of agreements, resulting in them agreeing to send messages indiscriminately to their contacts.

This is a common approach in social networking spam such as that generated by the social networking site Quechup. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28electronic%29 .

1 First, let me apologize for my family here at AV. Sometimes they get a bit rambunctious about questions like yours. They think they are clever because they never asked a question like this themselves.

Well, we can see that is wrong headed to start. If you don't ask, how will you learn, eh? So I am looking for this book, I like questions like this, and sometimes I am successful (I'd say about 30%).

Do you have anything else you can give me? A character name, a quote, the author, a unique situation? Any detail would help.

Good luck.

I suggest searching amazon. Com as they are the premier source of books online. Depending on where you may be from, their database is most likely screwed up.

Elsewise, you could ask askville. But suggest dissing the "no spam" policy, since as free givers, we might be put off by that. This user has been banned from Askville.

Greendragonslover replied to post #1: 3 I remember a scene in the book where the bad guy chasing the main character is on a boat, and the captain demands some of the stones as payment, then the bad guy uses a stone to transform his arm into a tiger claw and molls the captain to death. Or another scene where the main character uses a load stone to leave his body and poses another person. Or the end of the book where the main character finally discovers the purpose of the large amethyst that he has had since the beginning of the book, he smashes it with a sword and the explosion destroys the demon and the mountain leaving a plateau in its wake.

Sorry if that's not enough. I read it so long ago I can't remember any other details, the title that I thought it was belongs to another book so now I'm here.

4 I think the book is The Demon Awakens by RA Salvatore. I definitely remember reading this book and have also been searching for it for a while now. I also remember reading it in the 90s, although this book wasnt published until the late 90s.

However, the description in the reviews seems to match perfectly. amazon.com/gp/product/product-descriptio... Hope this helps.

There are two books that I can't remember the author or title of.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
