Rex: A Mother, Her Autistic Child, and the Music that Transformed Their Lives: by Cathleen Lewis

First to recommend

Description

I saw young Rex on 60 Minutes and he blew my mind. Born blind and severely autistic, within a couple years Rex's family discovered he also happened to be a music savant. Rex can hear and repeat any piece of music he hears, including lyrics - in any language! Truly incredible and I look forward to this more in-depth look into an amazing life, as written by his mother.

Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk - Books

I read Marjorie Morningstar for the first time around middle school. It was a book my mother's generation had treasured and by the third chapter, I was in love. I have since reread the book a few times and it still remains a favorite.

Conversations with Woody Allen: His Films, the Movies, and Moviemaking - Hardcover book

First to recommend

I love Woody Allen. Annie Hall rocks my world. So he's married his step-daughter and never quite made me laugh like he did in films that are older than me, but this book is a must-read for any fan.
