Eligible : a novel / by Sittenfeld, Curtis.; Adaptation of (work):Austen, Jane,1775-1817.Pride and prejudice.;
Liz is a magazine writer in her late thirties who, like her yoga instructor older sister, Jane, lives in New York City. When their father has a health scare, they return to their childhood home in Cincinnati to help -- and discover that the sprawling Tudor they grew up in is crumbling and the family is in disarray. Youngest sisters Kitty and Lydia are too busy with their CrossFit workouts and Paleo diets to get jobs. Mary, the middle sister, is earning her third online master's degree and barely leaves her room, except for those mysterious Tuesday-night outings she won't discuss. And Mrs. Bennet has one thing on her mind: how to marry off her daughters, especially as Jane's fortieth birthday fast approaches. Enter Chip Bingley, a handsome new-in-town doctor who recently appeared on the juggernaut reality TV dating show Eligible. At a Fourth of July barbecue, Chip takes an immediate interest in Jane, but Chip's friend neurosurgeon Fitzwilliam Darcy reveals himself to Liz to be much less charming. And yet, first impressions can be deceiving.

You can do anything : the surprising power of a "useless" liberal arts education / by Anders, George,1957-;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-330) and index.Part one. Your strengths. The explorers -- It's 480 B.C.--You have an ax -- You can start anywhere -- Part two. Your opportunities. My job didn't exist a year ago -- The problem solvers -- Frozen pipes, thawed minds -- Ruling the world -- Part three. Your allies. Employers that get it -- Your alumni connection -- What your campus can do -- Prepared forever -- Part four. Your tool kit. Telling your story -- Getting paid properly.George Anders explains the remarkable power of a liberal arts education, and the ways it can open the door to cutting-edge jobs. The curiosity, creativity, and empathy that are hallmarks of a liberal arts education aren't unruly traits that must be reined in. You can be yourself, as an English major, and thrive in sales. You can segue from anthropology into the booming new field of user research; from classics into management consulting, and from philosophy into high-stakes investing. At any stage of your career, you can bring a humanist's grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. In this book, you will learn why resume-writing is fading in importance and why "telling your story" is taking its place. You will learn how to create jobs that don't exist yet, and to translate your campus achievements into a new style of expression that will make employers' eyes light up.
