John Grisham - The Associate (2009) [AUDIOBOOK] [UNABRIDGED]

If you thought Mitch McDeere was in trouble in The Firm, wait
until you meet Kyle McAvoy, The Associate
Kyle McAvoy grew up in his father’s small-town law office in York, Pennsylvania. He excelled in college, was elected editor-in-chief of The Yale Law Journal, and his future has limitless potential. 
But Kyle has a secret, a dark one, an episode from college that he has tried to forget. The secret, though, falls into the hands of the wrong people, and Kyle is forced to take a job he doesn’t want—even though it’s a job most law students can only dream about.

Tennis, Anyone

PreSchool-Grade 1–Seven-year-old Tom Foley receives a lot of great gifts for his birthday. They all crash or whirr or beep, except for one–a tennis racket. It doesn't DO anything. Tom's father convinces him to try the game, though the boy has never heard of tennis and doesn't know of anyone who plays. Eye-catching, digitally rendered cartoon illustrations feature a boy with Brillo-pad hair, just like his dad's. The pictures and type vary in size, with the text sometimes placed over the art. The mention of a cat eating and passing gas all day is apparently included to make kids laugh and actually just might be the only, though rather unnecessary, bit of humor in the tale.

An entertaining introduction to logic and reasoning, packed with puzzles and thought experiments for the reader to try.
