  The Power of Habit

  Why We Do What We Do and How to Change It

  by Charles Duhigg

  Groundbreaking new research shows that by grabbing hold of the three-step "loop" all habits form in our brains--cue, routine, reward--we can change them, giving us the power to take control over our lives.   "We are what we repeatedly do," said Aristotle.

  Dandelion Wine: Book 1

  Dandelion Wine

  by Ray Bradbury

  The summer of '28 was a vintage season for a growing boy. A summer of green apple trees, mowed lawns, and new sneakers. Of half-burnt firecrackers, of gathering dandelions, of Grandma's belly-busting dinner. It was a summer of sorrows and marvels and gold-fuzzed bees. A magical, timeless summer in the life of a twelve-year-old boy named Douglas Spaulding--remembered forever by the incomparable Ray Bradbury.
