The Moviegoer
In this National Book Award–winning novel from a “brilliantly breathtaking writer,” a young Southerner searches for meaning in the midst of Mardi Gras (The New York Times Book Review). On the cusp of his thirtieth birthday, Binx Bolling is a lost soul. A stockbroker and member of an established New Orleans family, Binx’s one escape is the movie theater that transports him from the falseness of his life. With Mardi Gras in full swing, Binx, along with his cousin Kate, sets out to find his true purpose amid the excesses of the carnival that surrounds him. Buoyant yet powerful, The Moviegoer is a poignant indictment of modern values, and an unforgettable story of a week that will change two lives forever. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Walker Percy including rare photos from the author’s estate.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The decision-making process is a skill that humans possess. It is the underlying source of all other more readily identifiable skills. To become world-class decision makers, you must make the right decisions at the right time, regardless of where you are or what you are doing. #2 We are often spectators in the decisions we make, even ones of great consequence. If we are spectators in the decisions we make, we are bystanders, not active participants in the investments we make, the businesses we run, and even the lives we lead. #3 The countries with the highest participation rates in organ donation are all opt-in programs. If you do not take action, you will not be an organ donor. On the other hand, the countries with the lowest participation rates are all opt-out programs. #4 The most influential person in the decision to give away or not to give away free popcorns is not the moviegoer, but rather the person who decides the size of the bucket. For hundreds of millions of adults around the world, that person is not the government, but rather themselves.

DIVDIV“A great adventure . . . So outrageous and so real, one is left speechless.” —Chicago Sun Times/divDIV/divDIVIn Walker Percy’s future America, the country is on the brink of disaster. With citizens violently polarized along racial, political, and social lines, and a fifteen-year war still raging abroad, America is crumbling quickly into ruin. The country’s one remaining hope is Dr. Thomas More, whose “lapsometer” is capable of diagnosing the spiritual afflictions—anxiety, depression, alienation—driving everyone’s destructive and disastrous behavior./divDIV /divDIVBut such a potent machine has its pitfalls. As Dr. More soon learns, in the wrong hands, the powerful lapsometer could lead to open warfare, pushing America into anarchy at full-speed./div /div
