The second book in this hilarious, illustrated series cracks the imaginative world of minions wide open, and we meet the other schools and Evil Overlords that surround Dr. Critchlore's. Runt Higgins needs answers, fast. Someone cursed him to die on his sixteenth birthday, but no one seems to know who cursed him or why. Runt decides he must find the Great Library, where all true knowledge is hidden. Unfortunately, the only people who know the location of the Great Library are a covert network of librarian-spies who'd rather die than give up the Library's secrets. And when one of Runt's professors is attacked, it soon becomes clear that others are also out to find the Library at any cost. Meanwhile, Runt's not the only one whose days are numbered.

Moonshot!
"The future belongs to those who see the possibilities before they become obvious… This is the most exciting time ever to be part of the business world."Throughout history, there are some events that stand out as so groundbreaking that they completely change life as we know it. The Apollo moon landing of 1961 was one of those events—the invention of the Apple personal computer was another. In this book, John Sculley—former CEO of both Pepsi and Apple—claims we are in an era that is giving birth to numerous groundbreaking events and inventions—moonshots—that will change the way we live and work for generations to come.

11,002 Things to Be Miserable About
11,002 Things to Be Miserable About is a list of all the reasons NOT to wake up in the morning. Ironically enough, when you put all of them under one cover, it's actually very funny. This decidedly absurd inventory of misery is perfect for sardonic and disaffected youth, for people seeking gifts for Traumatic Event Birthdays (like 21, 25, 30, 40, and, well, anything after 40), and for anyone else with an offbeat sense of humor. Enjoy. Some of the entries are pretty basic, like imitation crabmeat, student loans, and David Hasselhoff, but other entries actually include educational things, like: Dust mites, which make up one-third of the weight of a six-year-old pillow. See, you can laugh and learn.

But when corpses begin to pile up in Peggy's wake, Dave must face the truth that either Jerry is a mass murderer—or Peggy is.

素质的打造（优秀人才成长方案）
有些人将旅行视为生活，有些人的生活就是旅行。生活在京都的三百六十五天，每天都是旅行，每天都在发现。曾几何时，我们都被庸庸碌碌的生活磨损了敏锐的感性，忘记了这世界的许多美好。偶尔沉淀下来，想写下一点什么，才发现很多值得留恋的东西。将每天见到的事物记下，或摄影、或涂鸦，一把茶壶、一扇窗，点滴记下，都是生活。生活的味道就此氤氲地发散。
