|author= Naoki Higashida and David Mitchell
|title= Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight: A Young Man's Voice From the Silence of Autism
|rating= 5
|genre= Reference
|summary=Naoki Higashida was only 13 years old when he wrote the international best-seller ''The Reason I Jump.'' The book was popular because it gave a rare glimpse into the workings of the autistic mind, as told from the unique perspective of a teenager with non-verbal autism. Naoki communicates by using an alphabet grid, or by tracing letters on the palm of a transcriber. Despite this slow and laborious method of writing, he has published several books in his native Japan, and manages to give public presentations to raise awareness of his condition. ''Fall Down 7 Times Get up 8'' reintroduces us to Naoki as a young adult in his 20s and explains how his perspectives on life have changed since writing his first book.

|summary= William Wordsworth was a defining member of the romantic literary era. He was part of the first wave, and his poetry helped to shape a large part of it. Nature is the key: existing in nature, finding one's own true nature and becoming natural in the process were the driving forces behind it.
