Each generation leads in its own way. But to progress together, they
must find ways to bridge the divide between their perspectives.
Recognizing that truth, a 65-year-old traditional CEO and his
35-year-old Zen entrepreneur son embark on a six-month-long, 100-mile
walk. As they stroll the streets of New York and New Orleans,
trek through the Blue Ridge Mountains, and hike along the Long Island
coast, they talk about their experiences, their outlook on life and
work, the achievements of leaders they have known, and how each views
the nature and purpose of leadership. Ultimately, the two men
agree on nine key traits and practices essential to all leaders -- from
principles and passion to performance and even paranoia -- and on how
leaders and aspiring leaders can follow them consistently. Father and
son also discover a lot about each other, their relationship, and the
way two generations set apart by so many differences can respect and
learn from each other.

The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova
If your pulse flutters at the thought of castle ruins and descents into
crypts by moonlight, you will savor every creepy page of Elizabeth
Kostova's long but beautifully structured thriller
The Historian.
The story opens in Amsterdam in 1972, when a teenage girl discovers a
medieval book and a cache of yellowed letters in her diplomat father's
library. The pages of the book are empty except for a woodcut of a
dragon. The letters are addressed to: "My dear and unfortunate
successor." When the girl confronts her father, he reluctantly
confesses an unsettling story: his involvement, twenty years earlier,
in a search for his graduate school mentor, who disappeared from his
office only moments after confiding to Paul his certainty that
Dracula--Vlad the Impaler, an inventively cruel ruler of Wallachia in
the mid-15th century--was still alive. The story turns out to concern
our narrator directly because Paul's collaborator in the search was a
fellow student named Helen Rossi (the unacknowledged daughter of his
mentor) and our narrator's long-dead mother, about whom she knows
almost nothing. And then her father, leaving just a note, disappears
also.
