"Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking"

by Susan Cain

In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts–from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.

"Beautiful Buttons: a Memoir of Triumph & Survival"

by Catherine Ann

Abused and neglected by her disturbed parents, pregnant at 15, pimped out by a rich Uncle at 17, this story proves the power to overcome obstacles. Written in an authentic, real voice by the person who lived the tale, this book is a real page-turner.

Hatred, intolerance, poor hygienic conditions and violence all have roots in illiteracy, so we're trying to do something to help the poor and the needy.

The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he's written it.
