I Don't Wish Nobody to Have A Life Like Mine:
Tales of Kids in Adult Lockup
David Chura taught high school in a New York county penitentiary for ten years. Here are his powerful stories of the kids he got to know. Though these young people have remarkably slim chances for success in life, their personalities come through in these snapshots into lives full of neglelct, abuse, drugs, and violence. The result is a compassionate look at the effects on these young lives of radical social inequality and an antiquated, overcrowded, and paranoid correctional system.
Говорили, впрочем, и другое: сокровища выкопал некто Истерлинг, а Блад, желая завладетьть ими, но не зная местоположения клада, поджидал корабли Истерлинга у выхода из бухты К несчастью, во время боя корабль Истерлинга получил пробоину и затонул вместе со всем золотом

World Book Night is a campaign to put books in the hands of people who read very little or not at all.
The World Book Night organization is printing hundreds of thousands of special free paperback editions, and they are looking for volunteers to go out on April 23 and give books out across America. The goal is to get more people reading.
You pick the place: hospital or clinic, school, shelter... lots of possibilities. Be creative.

Please go the website to read up on its mission, the books you can choose from, and some rules and regulations. All you need to become a giver is a little time, a love of books, and the desire to give something to your community. The books are free--to you and to the people you give them to. Apply to be a giver, then the books come to us, and you pick them up here before April 23.
