$25.95After reading Plato I found myself looking for any material on Socrates and stumbled on this recent release by Paul Johnson. Socrates lived during the best and worst times of Athenian splendor and hubris. Over all, this is a brilliant portrait of the Greek philosopher and of one of the greatest thinkers of all time. A stunning look at the life of a man who did nothing less than supply the basic apparatus of the human mind.

Go Ask Alice (Paperback)
Description
January 24th
After you've had it, there isn't even life without drugs....
It started when she was served a soft drink laced with LSD in a dangerous party game. Within months, she was hooked, trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her comfortable home and loving family to the mean streets of an unforgiving city. It was a journey that would rob her of her innocence, her youth -- and ultimately her life.
Read her diary.
Enter her world.
You will never forget her.
For thirty-five years, the acclaimed, bestselling first-person account of a teenage girl's harrowing decent into the nightmarish world of drugs has left an indelible mark on generations of teen readers.
