Secrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar: How Self-Education and the Pursuit of Passion Can Lead to a Lifetime of Success, by James Marcus Bach, is a full length self-help book, not just a sample.
Book Description Like so many young people, James Bach, the son of the famous author Richard Bach (Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah), struggled in school. While he excelled in the subjects that interested him-earning A-s in physics and calculus-he barely passed the courses that didn't. By the time he was sixteen, he dropped out. He taught himself computer programming and software design and started working as a manager at Apple Computers only four years later-and he never looked back. With The Secrets of a Buccaneer Scholar, James shows us how he developed his own education on his own terms, how that unorthodox education brought him success, and how the reader can do it too. In his uniquely pithy and anecdotal style James uses the metaphor of a buccaneer to describe anyone whose love of learning and pursuit of knowledge is not bound by institutions or authorities. James outlines the eleven elements of his self-education method and shows how every reader-simply investing time and passion into educating themselves about the things that really interest them-can develop a method for acquiring knowledge and expertise that fits their temperaments and showcases their unique abilities and skills. Particularly well-suited for an audience grappling with the challenges posed by the Internet, but also appropriate for parents looking to home school their children or employees hoping to jump start their careers, The Secrets of a Buccaneer Scholar is a groundbreaking work that empowers and inspires its readers. Anybody But Justin, by Shelli Stevens, is another free read from Samhain Publishing. Book Description The line between friends and lovers can get a little blurry-especially when you add tequila. A Chances Are story. Gabby is serious about her search for Mr. Right, but no one can say she hasn-t had a good time looking. She enjoys her numerous dates and the sex that comes with them. Until she finds herself falling for the one man she vows to never love. Her best friend and roommate, Justin. A player in every sense of the word-and a reminder of her awful past. One night, with the help of a bottle of tequila, things get a little too hot for comfort. She moves out, intent on removing him from the line of temptation. Justin has different plans. The tequila did more than just change how he sees his good friend. It made him realize he doesn-t want to be just friends any more. He-s ready for something more intimate, and he-ll do whatever it takes to find out why she-s running. And convince her to stay. Warning: This book has Spoiler:
