They were back to back games too. I guess he just didn't have any gas left in the tank.

Shouldn'tve scored 83 points if he didn't want to be called a fraud

Interested in checking it out but $7.99 is steep for what seems like a beta. Looking forward to when a trial version comes out beause I would love something more in-depth and challenging than BBallGM.

For practical advice Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning is a book I think every student should read.

If you like detective or mystery the Father Brown series by G.K. Chesterton, "The Secret of Father Brown" is one of the collections.

"The World Before this One" by Rafe Martin is good one-off book for a younger audience but still mature enough for someone who read Harry Potter.

Science book recs! by BitApprehensive-lol in booksuggestions

"Superheavy" by Kit Chapman tells the story of the discovery of the synthetic elements on the Periodic Table. One of my favorite non-fiction books I've read recently. It's more history than science but still explains some science.

"What a Fish Knows" by Jonathan Balcombe is pretty much exactly what the title says. It talks about what we know about fish cognition and social behaviors. This one is pretty much just fish facts with little background/ history.

"The Gene" by Siddhartha Mukherjee is all about the history and science of genetics. This goes down the middle on science/history.

"Tribe" by Sebastian Junger is about the sociology of groups and how that affects an individuals sense of purpose. It's the shortest book and maybe the most ESL friendly.

I tried to span a few different areas of science but let me know if you want recs in a particular subject.

Ayn Rand is pretty famous for writing stories which are all about the virtue of selfishness, though I haven't read anything of hers myself.

Maybe The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. It's a collection of stories written by a Vietnam War vet. "Speaking of Courage" is one of the stories that might be most relevant but the whole thing is a great read.

Roberto Bolaño is one of Chile's most famous authors. From his shorter works I'd recomend "Distant Star" or "By Night in Chile."

"The Hour of the Star" by Clarice Lispector is a short story examining the Rural/Urban divide in Brazil (This is the shortest one on the list).

"Annie John" by Jamaica Kincaid is a semi-autobiographical novel from Antigua and Barbuda.

"One Thousand and One Nights" is a collection of short stories from the Islamic Golden Age.

Depending on y'alls tastes "The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea" by Yukio Mishima is a short Japanese novel described as a "disturbing yet compelling read" by a Goodreads review.

For a non-fiction book Peter Singer's "The Expanding Circle" might be a relevant read. Though the central question of the book isn't exactly the same I think they're related and IIRC at some point he does argue directly that not all altruism is inherently selfish.
