Grendel, by John Gardner ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Akin ​ Best for Grades: 10-12 ​ The Beowulf story retold from the monster's point of view reveals the darker side of human nature and values. The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Aloteibi ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, caught in the tragic sweep of history, The Kite Runner transports readers to Afghanistan at a tense and crucial moment of change and destruction. A powerful story of friendship, it is also about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies. Warning: strong thematic material...including sexual assault on a child The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Alvarez ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ "One sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eye." de Saint-Exupéry's classic novella explores the negotiation of adulthood, underscoring the blindnesses of those who inhabit that world. Childlike in its structural simplicity, but complex in its reflection of philosophical perspectives, The Little Prince resonates with young and old, reminding all that "Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them." Orphan Train, by Christina Baker Kline ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Baez ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ Orphan Train is a story about a teenager named Molly who has spent the majority of her life in foster care. Molly finds herself in and out of trouble with the law. As punishment for her misbehavior, Molly must help an elderly woman as retribution for her crime. While serving her community service, Molly realizes that she and Vivian, although vastly different in age, have a great deal in common. With Vivian's help, Molly soon realizes the importance of unexpected friendship and second chances. Camino Island, by John Grisham ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Bernal ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ A gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a secure vault deep below Princeton University’s Firestone Library. Their loot is priceless, but Princeton has insured it for twenty-five million dollars. Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in the black market of stolen books and manuscripts. Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer’s block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous offer of money convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Bruce Cable’s circle of literary friends, ideally getting close enough to him to learn his secrets. But eventually Mercer learns far too much, and there’s trouble in paradise as only John Grisham can deliver it. Crenshaw, by Katherine Applegate ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Beyer ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ It's about a boy named Jackson whose family is going through hardships and living in a van. Crenshaw the imaginary cat comes to help Jackson. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Bonn ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ This book is about the island of Guernsey (small island) in English Channel during world war two when it was occupied by the Nazis and how a group of people band together to help each other get through the occupation. Check out the weblink: http://www.randomhouse.com/rhpg/guernsey/book/ for a short video on the book. It's a powerful and fun book to read! I can't wait to read it again and share it with you! The Boys in the Boat, by Daniel James Brown ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Calbi ​ Best for Grades: 10-12 ​ "A story of the University of Washington’s 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal which transformed the sport of rowing and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans." "The emotional heart of the story lies with one rower, Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not for glory, but to regain his shattered self-regard and to find a place he can call home." Killing the Rising Sun, by Bill O’Reilly ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Campbell ​ Best for Grades: 10-12 ​ WW2 in the Pacific Theater--1st person stories from all sides of the conflict The Racketeer, by John Grisham ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Cardenas ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ In the history of the United States, only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five. His body is found in his remote lakeside cabin. There is no sign of forced entry or struggle. Just two dead bodies: Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. And one large, state-of-the-art, extremely secure safe, opened and emptied. One man, a former attorney, knows who killed Judge Fawcett, and why. But that man, Malcolm Bannister, is currently residing in the Federal Prison Camp near Frostburg, Maryland. Though serving time, Malcolm has an ace up his sleeve. He has information the FBI would love to know. Malcolm would love to tell them. But everything has a price—and the man known as the Racketeer wasn’t born yesterday. Uncle Tungsten, Memories of a Chemical Boyhood, by Oliver Sacks ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Carothers ​ Best for Grades: 11-12 ​ A story of Oliver Sacks as a young boy who grows up in a household whose mother was a surgeon and father a family doctor. As a young boy Oliver Sacks was fascinated with chemical reactions and explosions. The louder and smellier, the better. There is much talk about his uncle who's factory produced tungsten-filament lightbulbs (his Uncle Tungsten) and also much talk about his fascination with metals in general. Quite a different book and definitely worth reading. Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Cascio ​ Best for Grades: 11-12 ​ It is a personal development and self-improvement book. The author studied successful people and evolved 13 principles for success. The book talks a lot about monetary success but the philosophies can be applied to any line of work. "The book asserts that desire, faith and persistence can propel one to great heights if one can suppress negative thoughts and focus on long-term goals." Going After Cacciato, by Tim O’Brien ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Chandler ​ Best for Grades: 11-12 ​ Winner of the National Book Award, this novel combines fantasy and reality in its depiction of a soldier who walks away from the Vietnam War and the squad that pursues him. The Boy Detective Fails, by Joe Meno ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Chavez ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ Kind of like if Encyclopedia Brown grew up and had an unpleasant, absurd adulthood. The book synopsis mentions the protagonist's sister has commit suicide, so that may be uncomfortable for some readers. Where’d You Go Bernadette, by Maria Semple ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Chiamulon ​ Best for Grades: 11-12 ​ Bernadette has been hiding a secret past for decades while living the Seattle life she never wanted. Her daughter Bee attends a private school filled with wealthy parents who do not like Bernadette, and try their best to get her kicked out of the PTA and make her look bad. Her husband works long hours at Microsoft and is becoming more and more concerned about his eccentric wife. The family is planning a trip to Antarctica to celebrate Bee's perfect grades when Bernadette disappears. Shanghai Girls, by Lisa Lee ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Chuang ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ "Compulsively readable... an enlightening journey [that] examines the Chinese immigrant experience through the lens of two sisters' lives." - The Denver Post The Boy Detective Fails, by Joe Meno ​ ​ Book Chat Facilitator: Coe ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ The main character is like an Encyclopedia Brown all grown up, but he is unsuccessful. A Whole New Engineer - The Coming Revolution in Engineering Education, by David E. ​ ​ Goldberg, Mark Somerville, and Catherine Whitney Book Chat Facilitator: Denisiu ​ Best for Grades: 9-12 ​ This amazing book is about how joy, trust, openness and connection are the key to unleashing young, courageous minds and how emotion and culture are the crucial elements of change, not content, curriculum and pedagogy (shocking, I know ).

Will you be a part of this needed change?

  • Lisey's Story
    LISEY’S STORY ABOUT THE BOOK IN BRIEF: Lisey Landon is the woman behind bestselling novelist Scott Landon - not that the world knows it. For twenty- five years she has been the light to his dark, and as his wife, she was the only one who saw the truth behind the public face of the famous author - that he was a haunted man whose bestselling novels were based on a terrifying reality. Now Scott is dead, Lisey wants to concentrate on the memories of the man she loved. But the fans and academics have a different idea, determined to pull his dark secrets into the light. IN DETAIL: King has written about writers several times before, but this is the first time he has switched focus to the writer’s wife. This allows him to explore career-long interests in a fascinating new way. As with Jack Torrance in The Shining, it’s not entirely clear whether writing is a ‘healthy’ process for Scott Landon, but it’s undoubtedly a necessary one, allowing him to deal with his disturbing life and unusual way of looking at the world. Scott Landon is a successful author (he’s won the Pulitzer and the National Book Award), and as in Misery he has problems with obsessive fans. This causes trouble in his life (when a fan shoots him), and after his death, as an academic is so desperate to get his hands on Landon’s unpublished work that he takes to threatening Lisey. But Lisey can take of herself. The novel goes on to explores Lisey’s life after Scott’s death, but it is also details the twenty-five years of their relationship, and the family secrets that have bonded the couple together.

  • Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights
    Statement on Visit to the United Kingdom, by Professor Philip Alston, United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights London, 16 November 2018 Introduction The UK is the world’s fifth largest economy, it contains many areas of immense wealth, its capital is a leading centre of global finance, its entrepreneurs are innovative and agile, and despite the current political turmoil, it has a system of government that rightly remains the envy of much of the world. It thus seems patently unjust and contrary to British values that so many people are living in poverty. This is obvious to anyone who opens their eyes to see the immense growth in foodbanks and the queues waiting outside them, the people sleeping rough in the streets, the growth of homelessness, the sense of deep despair that leads even the Government to appoint a Minister for suicide prevention and civil society to report in depth on unheard of levels of loneliness and isolation. And local authorities, especially in England, which perform vital roles in providing a real social safety net have been gutted by a series of government policies. Libraries have closed in record numbers, community and youth centers have been shrunk and underfunded, public spaces and buildings including parks and recreation centers have been sold off. While the labour and housing markets provide the crucial backdrop, the focus of this report is on the contribution made by social security and related policies. The results? 14 million people, a fifth of the population, live in poverty. Four million of these are more than 50% below the poverty line,1 and 1.5 million are destitute, unable to afford basic essentials.2 The widely respected Institute for Fiscal Studies predicts a 7% rise in child poverty between 2015 and 2022, and various sources predict child poverty rates of as high as 40%.3 For almost one in every two children to be poor in twenty-first century Britain is not just a disgrace, but a social calamity and an economic disaster, all rolled into one.

  • Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock
    ABSTRACT A Dark Mirror: Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock Director: Dr. Lynne Hinojosa, Ph.D. Stephen King is well known for popular horror fiction but has recently been addressed more thoroughly by literary critics. While most studies focus on horror themes and the relationships between various characters, this thesis explores the importance of the author characters in three works by Stephen King: Misery, The Dark Half, and The Shining. The introduction gives a background of Stephen King as an author of popular horror fiction and discusses two themes that are connected to his author characters: doppelgängers and duality, and the idea of the death of the author. The death of the author is the idea that an author's biography should not affect the interpretation of a text. Implicit in this idea is the notion that the separation of an author from his work makes the text more literary and serious. The second chapter on Misery explores the relationship between the author and the readership or fans and discusses Stephen King’s divide caused by his split between his talent as an author of popular fiction and a desire to be a writer of literary fiction. The third chapter concerning The Dark Half explores Stephen King’s use of the pseudonym Richard Bachman and the splitting this created within himself and the main character of his novel. The last chapter includes discussion of The Shining and the author character’s split in personality caused by alcohol and supernatural sources. Studying the author characters and their doppelgängers reveals the unique stance King takes on the “death of the author” idea and shows how he represents the splitting of the self within his works.
