trouble reading sentences into a single linked list from a file
i am trying to write a database for my books
burt when i want to read from a file into my linked list
it breaks everything up in words
the file looks like this

i use fscanf
i tried to replace it with fread and fgets but no succes
here is the code of my print fuctions
Code:
struct dbline{
char author[BUFSIZE];
char title[BUFSIZE];
char edition[BUFSIZE];
char isbn[10];
char publisher[BUFSIZE];
char comment[BUFSIZE];
struct dbline *next_rec;
};
typedef struct dbline LIST;
typedef LIST *LINK;
FILE *open_file_to_read(FILE *fp ,char *filename)
{
if((fp = fopen(filename ,"r")) == NULL)
{
fprintf(stderr ,"error opening file");
exit(-1);
}
return fp;
}
LINK read_to_list(FILE *fpr, LINK first)
{
LIST tmp_rec ;
LINK new_rec = NULL;
LINK cur_rec = NULL;
while(fscanf(fpr, "%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n", tmp_rec.author, tmp_rec.title, tmp_rec.edition, tmp_rec.isbn ,tmp_rec.publisher, tmp_rec.comment)!= EOF)
{
new_rec = (LINK) malloc(sizeof(LIST));
*new_rec = tmp_rec;
if (cur_rec == NULL)
{
cur_rec = new_rec;
first = new_rec;
}
else
{
cur_rec->next_rec = new_rec;
cur_rec=new_rec;
}
new_rec->next_rec = NULL;
}
return first;
}
void print_all(LINK first)
{
LINK cur_rec = NULL;
cur_rec = first;
while (cur_rec != NULL)
{
printf("\nauthor: %s", cur_rec->author);
printf("\ntitle: %s", cur_rec->title);
printf("\nedition: %s", cur_rec->edition);
printf("\nisbn: %s", cur_rec->isbn);
printf("\npublisher: %s", cur_rec->publisher);
printf("\ncomment: %s", cur_rec->comment);
cur_rec = cur_rec->next_rec;
}
there are more functions i think these are the ones
messing things up
can anybody tell me what i am doing wrong
