No one expected a dreadlocked fifteen-year-old who cared more about his DJ business than his homework to grow up to become one of the youngest-ever White House fellows, create multiple nonprofits, and found a multibillion-dollar company. But Robert Reffkin — raised by an Israeli immigrant single mother, disowned by his maternal grandparents for being Black, and abandoned by his father — has always defied the odds.

Inspirational Life Story - Great Lessons on Resilience
Revisado: 02-13-25
Well written with great lessons on the value of relationships and being resilient. He could have named it “How To Get Mediocre Grades and Get Into The Best Schools” or “Succeed Through Detailed Definition Of You Goals and Compulsive Commitment To Reaching Them” but the author credits his success to the support of others. It turns out that those relationships were the perfect antidote to his imposter’s syndrome. Not only did he draw on others faith in him to remind him that his individuality was a blessing, he also depended on their advice to go where they saw he could be of most value. Don’t get angry at the fish because it can’t play basketball. Everyone has their own genius. Nice message Mr. Reffkin.

An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, best-selling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014.

Better than To Kill A Mockingbird
Revisado: 08-14-15
It has all of the beautiful language that Harper Lee is famous for and tells the story of Scout seeing her father through adult eyes. Wonderful and so relevant to recent events.

Jim Nicholson was one of the CIA's top veteran case officers. By day he taught spycraft at the CIA's clandestine training center, The Farm. By night he was a minivan-driving single father racing home to have dinner with his kids. But Nicholson led a double life. For more than two years, he had met covertly with agents of Russia's foreign intelligence service and turned over troves of classified documents. In 1997 Nicholson became the highest-ranking CIA officer ever convicted of espionage.

Two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize David McCullough tells the dramatic story behind the story about the courageous brothers who taught the world how to fly: Wilbur and Orville Wright.
On December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Wilbur and Orville Wright's Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard. The Age of Flight had begun. How did they do it? And why?
