A. This better be a HW question, lol. OK. So, where do I begin...Literature is, in my opinion, the best and most reliable resource mankind has ever - and will ever - have. Period. Imagine that various markings, which is pretty much all words are, could reveal thousands of secrets. From history to entertainment to opinions to ANYTHING. It is so very valuable, yet so very dangerous. Oh so very dangerous. On a happier note, that, my friend, is quote/end quote "literature and its significance."

Q. What literature or book has a detailed and comprehensive describtion of various demons/demonology? Please do not send me to a website, I am looking for an actual book.

A. The Goetia is the closest you're going to get to a worthwhile book on demons themselves. Anything else is fear-inspired babble and is, generally, impractical, false and useless as anything other than entertainment. However, it's still fairly... eh. I wouldn't use it. It's entirely disrespectful and abusive towards the demons, and that's not good. The OFS demonolatry site gives the following books as recommended reading, though, so maybe they're decent: The Complete Book of Demonlatry, S. Connolly Goetic Demonolatry, Ellen Purswell Demonolatry Rites, S. Connolly Good luck... and do be careful. :P I'm not sure why you want the books, but it's nothing to toy around with, for good or for ill. Cheers.

A. Thanks to the recession, book sales (especially fiction) are soaring. See link below. Newspapers are a bad medium to be in; they really are dying off. It's just a sign of the times, not so much a byproduct of the recession.

Well if yes, then I would say Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher-Stowe, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell and Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. The first two deal with slavery and the latter with black people trying to survive.

A. You are right about most of that. Furthermore though, most fiction was written by women, sometimes but not usually under psuedonyms (because fiction was the craft of women, not men). Furthermore, any sort of novels written in the time were usually epistolary and issued in serial publications. Most novels of the time, for example, Wieland by Charles Brockden Brown, were released chapter by chapter to a literary magazine and constructed in to a full novel for the modern reader. Most of the fictional literature was of a gothic/romantic type as well, with a female heroine and a mysterious male antagonist. You are correct about the diary/journal aspect.

Who agrees that a little piece of literature can have a big affect on our society?

One example I can refer to is Oliver Twist, a book (there may have been a few other books) that inspired America to cease child labor.
