I'm always up for free books, so count me in. There are some fine selections there to occupy my time.

Loved the video, btw, though I had to quit watching and just sit back and listen.

Good stuff . . .

I'm gifting to two dads and 1 grad this year, so this prize package would definitely help. Thanks for the contest.

I know at least 2 dads that would enjoy many of those books. The only one I've read from the pack is "Outliers", which I really enjoyed. I'm a fan of all three of Gladwell's books.

Thanks for the contest!

My husband is both the best Dad and the best Grad, so he definitely needs this set of books. 5 years ago, while our son was still in college, we both lost our jobs. I got a job where our son was in college which helped with 1/2 price tuition, but my DH could not find a job. After 2 years he decided to go back to college. He never graduated because he went to Vietnam instead. Well, we got my son out of college, and my DH graduates Suma Cum Laude with his master's degree in 4 weeks. Then, he starts his PhD program. He will be 66 when he finishes he PhD and will begin teaching at a University. He has also done all the housekeeping, cooking and errands while he has been in school and I have been supporting us. I can't tell you how proud of him I am.

Hello! I would enjoy winning this collection of fabulous books for my 91 year old dad and my son who is in his third year of college! My dad has had two successful cornea transplants and can now enjoy reading
magazines, papers and books again.
My son enjoys reading books other than his college study books.
Many thanks, Cindi

Great selection of books, especially for lovers of history and social science (which, luckily, my dad is, so this would make a terrific gift!). I've only read "Outliers," which was an excellent and engaging book, but the others sound equally promising. Thanks!
