All I can remember is that at least part of the book has to do with some sort of afterlife city where people live until people on earth forget them, and then they're gone. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
The Bible? Are you people high? Yeah, right, people die and go to Heaven and then completely vanish when people on Earth have forgotten all about them. And yes, I AM a geek who reads lots of things. It helps me to spell words like "your."

it sound like the city of ember. it is about a city that is falling abart and all that. the people of sparks is when the city if ember goes above ground (the city of ember is underground) and meets the people of sparks. the people above earth used to know all about that but then it turned into a myth and then the ember people came and then the sparks people found out that the meber people was the myth.
it is by Jeanne DuPrau

I have no idea, but it sounds very interesting and I hope someone comes up with the right answer for you, as I would also like to read it. Kudos.

could it be 'heaven can wait'? sorry, but i'm not sure.
if you go into 'barnes and noble' and choose books about the afterlife, you may recognize one of the titles.
