The Vista Book Group met in March to discuss Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain.  There were five self-described introverts and three ambiverts in attendance.  Many of us have heard the terms introvert and extrovert, but few of us have probably heard the term ambivert. According to Ms. Cain and the psychologists whose studies she references in her book, there really is no such thing as pure introvert or extrovert.   However, most of us usually tend to lean prominently toward one end of the introvert-extrovert spectrum.  If a person falls pretty much in the center of the spectrum, they are known as an ambivert.

The 2013 Pulitzer Prize winners have just been announced.  Adam Johnson's The Orphan Master's Son, about life under totalitarian rule in North Korea, won the fiction prize.  Fredrik Logevall took the history prize for Embers of War: The Fall of an Empire and the Making of America’s Vietnam, about the French Indochina War that preceded and paved the way for America's Vietnam tragedy.  Tom Reiss's The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo, winner of the biography prize, presents the life of Alexandre Dumas's father, whose real-life exploits and adventures served as the basis for Dumas's celebrated novel The Count of Monte Cristo.  Sharon Olds, a well-known American poet who has been publishing since the early 1980s, won the poetry prize for her collection Stag's Leap.  The nonfiction prize went to Gilbert King's Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a New America, about a landmark early case in the civil-rights career of the future Supreme Court justice.  Check out all these titles, as well as the other finalists in each category, from the Richland Library.
