Summary:

Fifteen-year-old Reed Brennan wins a scholarship to Easton Academy-the golden ticket away from her pill-popping mother and run-of-the-mill suburban life. But when she arrives on the beautiful, tradition-steeped campus of Easton, everyone is just a bit more sophisticated, a bit more gorgeous, and a lot wealthier than she ever thought possible. Reed realizes that even though she has been accepted to Easton, Easton has not accepted her. She feels like she's on the outside, looking in.

Until she meets the Billings Girls.

They are the most beautiful, intelligent, and intensely confident girls on campus. And they know it. They hold all the power in a world where power is fleeting but means everything. Reed vows to do whatever it takes to be accepted into their inner circle.

Reed uses every part of herself-the good, the bad, and the beautiful-to get closer to the Billings Girls. She quickly discovers that inside their secret parties and mountains of attitude, hanging in their designer clothing–packed closets the Billings Girls have skeletons. And they'll do anything to keep their secrets private.

Title: Metamorphosis and Other Stories

Summary:

Throughout his amazing career, Franz Kafka created some of the most haunting, timeless, and enduring images of the nightmare world of everyday life. First published in 1915, 'The Metamorphosis' is one of Kafka's most famous works. The story begins when traveling salesman Gregor Samsa wakes from a series of disturbing dreams to discover that he has transformed overnight into a giant insect. Instead of arousing surprise or horror in his family, however, Gregor's condition is merely despised as an imposition, a burden.

In addition to Kafka's 'The Metamorphosis,' this collection includes eight pieces by one of the fathers of the modern short story, Guy de Maupassant: 'The Englishman,' 'The Piece of String,' 'The Necklace,' 'A Crisis,' 'The Will,' 'Love,' 'The Inn,' and 'Was It a Dream?'

Summary:

In 1893, Otto 'Big Red' Amlingmeyer and his brother, Gustav 'Old Red,' find themselves in a situation that they never expected: they have a bit of money and time to do something other than scramble. It's enough to confound even that most unconfoundable of men, their mutual inspiration, Sherlock Holmes.

So Old Red decides that it's time for the two of them to head off to the Texas hill country, to San Marcos, and deal with the greatest tragedy of Old Red's life. Five years ago, when Old Red was a cowpoke in San Marcos, he had a sweetheart-a fallen woman at the local house of ill repute. They had made plans, but before they made their big move, his fiancee was murdered and the case was swept under the rug by the local authorities. Now Old Red is determined to find out what really happened and to finally find a measure of justice for his beloved. But Big Red and Old Red find themselves facing a wall of silence and in some of the worst situations of their lives: ensnared in a riot at the local cathouse, on the wrong end of a lynching party, and, perhaps worst of all, having to do the one thing you never want to do in the state of Texas: steal horses.

Title: Ignore Everybody: And 39 Other Keys to Creativity

Author: Hugh MacLeod

Narrator: William Dufris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:00:00

Language: English

Release date: 08-03-09

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Business & Economics, Comedy, Career Development, Essays & Memoirs, Business Development

Summary:

When Hugh MacLeod was a struggling young copywriter living in a YMCA, he started to doodle on the backs of business cards while sitting at a bar. Those cartoons eventually led to a popular blog-gapingvoid.com-and a reputation for pithy insight and humor, in both words and pictures.

MacLeod has opinions on everything from marketing to the meaning of life, but one of his main subjects is creativity. How do new ideas emerge in a cynical, risk-averse world? Where does inspiration come from? What does it take to make a living as a creative person?

Ignore Everybody expands on MacLeod's sharpest insights, wittiest cartoons, and most useful advice. For example:

-Selling out is harder than it looks. Diluting your product to make it more commercial will just make people like it less.

-If your plan depends on you suddenly being 'discovered' by some big shot, your plan will probably fail. Nobody suddenly discovers anything. Things are made slowly and in pain.

-Don't try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether. There's no point trying to do the same thing as 250,000 other young hopefuls, waiting for a miracle. All existing business models are wrong. Find a new one.

-The idea doesn't have to be big. It just has to be yours. The sovereignty you have over your work will inspire far more people than the actual content ever will.

After learning MacLeod's forty keys to creativity, you will be ready to unlock your own brilliance and unleash it on the world.
