"Many of our society's most cherished traditions are actually based on historical accident, the profit motives of a few companies, or the agenda of someone who died long ago. A lot of what we believe and do is bullshit, yet we walk around thinking our way of doing things is inherently correct. Why do we exchange diamond engagement rings? Why is wine so expensive? How does art become 'art'? Why do so many non-profits want us to donate our cars? Why does college cost so much? Why do so many pets die in animal shelters? Why is the world the way it is?"--Back cover.

Everything is Bullshit

We've got your back :) Moneyball was written by Michael Lewis, a non-fiction and financial writer, and a contributing editor to Vanity Fair magazine. Lewis, a life-long baseball fan, wrote the book after taking up an interest in Billy Beane's uncanny success with the low-budget Oakland A's of the early 2000's. It became a New York Times bestseller, and has been cited as a book that is accessible both to baseball fanatics and non-sports fans alike. The book was published in 2004, and has since generated buzz about a new era of management in baseball.

Quicklets: Learn more. Read less. Harper Lee published To Kill a Mockingbird in 1960. Shortly thereafter, the book won the Pulitzer Prize and is now known as one of the greatest books ever written, selling over 30 million copies in 18 languages. The immediate fame the book achieved came as a shock to Lee, who never relished being in the spotlight. Much of Lee's novel is drawn from real events from her childhood in Monroeville, Alabama, during the Great Depression. As such, the racial and moral undertones of the book provide a very realistic portrait of southern life in the 1930s. The book's hero, Atticus Finch, is lauded as one of the great fictional moralists, a man who not only fought racial injustice, but defended his family through it all refused to compromise any of his values or integrity. Today, To Kill a Mockingbird is among the most commonly assigned books in high school English classes and seldom raises concerns over the controversial subjects it addresses. It has, to this day, never been out of print and has remained Harper Lee's one and only novel.
