Time was meant to be infinite, now Man has a fear that no other creature has

In the hands of another storyteller, a fable about Father Time might seem forced or hollow. As told by Mitch Albom, it comes alive with a spiritual vibrancy that makes its relevant to our own lives. The gentle man who gave us For One More Day, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, and Have a Little Faith. In Mitch Albom's recent work of fiction; delivers a revealing purpose that deserves to be read by all whom are blessed with the precious gift of Life.
The Time Keeper is a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the hours. The man who became Father Time.
In Mitch Albom's 2012 fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time. He returns to our world-now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently began-and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so. Told in Albom's signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is.

The Time Keeper is powerfully revealing to life, highly recommended for anyone of any generation--
                                                             Profound Inspiration!
 Before becoming one of America's most beloved sport commentators and columnists, Albom was an amateur boxer, a nightclub singer and pianist, and a stand-up comedian. He is a nationally syndicated fixture of radio and print, and has been featured as an analyst on ESPN. He has covered college football and college basketball in two successful nonfiction books, and the best of his articles have been collected in a series of anthologies called Live Albom. However, what catapulted Albom into the literary limelight was the mega-selling 1997 memoir, Tuesdays with Morrie, his first book to sidestep sports altogether. The Oprah Winfrey-produced version of Tuesdays with Morrie, starring Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria, won 4 Emmy Awards and was the most-watched TV movie of 1999.

Albom devoted  an area of his website, mitchalbom.com/service , to hosting  a directory of local and national service opportunities.  He also raises money for literacy projects through a variety of means including his performances with The Rock Bottom Remainders, a band made up of writers which includes Stephen King, Dave Barry, Scott Turow, Amy Tan and Ridley Pearson. Albom serves on the boards of various charities and, in 1999, was named National Hospice Organization's Man of the Year.
In 2010, Albom was named the recipient of the Red Smith Award for lifetime achievement by the Associated Press Sports Editors.

"The Man Who Owned Broadway"

An American entertainer , playwright, composer, lyricist, actor, singer, dancer and producer. He was considered the father of American musical comedy. A remarkable talent who displayed  theatrical longevity, appearing in films until the 1930s, and continuing to perform as a headline artist until 1940.   His name was George Michael Cohan , born in 1878 in Providence, Rhode Island, to Irish Catholic parents. A baptismal certificate (which gave the wrong first name for his mother) indicated that he was born on July 3, but Cohan and his family always insisted that George had been "born on the Fourth of July!" George's parents were traveling vaudeville performers, and he joined them on stage while still an infant, first as a prop, learning to dance and sing soon after he could walk and talk.   Cohan began his career as a child, performing with his parents and sister in a vaudeville act known as " The Four Cohans ." Beginning with Little Johnny Jone...

To make all the published works of humankind available to everyone in the world.―

The ultimate goal of the Open Library While large in scope and ambition, this goal is within our grasp. Achieving it will require the participation of librarians, authors, government officials and technologists. Imagine what a comprehensive, open library could be! A talented math whiz who lives in a rural community can explore the works of high math. An elderly person can have a large print edition of any book ever published. An innovative young scholar can publish a book directly to this great library on subjects that might not otherwise make it through the long and difficult publication process. How can you help? Improve the records we have for the books you love – every record is fully editable by clicking the “edit” button on the page. If Open Library don't have a record for a book, you can create one where logged users are allowed to add records on Open Library.  If you're a library with digitized resources, tell Open Library where they are and they will point peo...

The practice had evolved from commonplace books, a Renaissance tradition of compiling important and memorable information into bound sheets of paper. Students were encouraged to keep the books during class, and eventually they became a place to store anything and everything their owners found interesting-including the signatures of other classmates.
