Here is our top content from Sept. 11–25: N ow in our second year of offering NextUp: 40 Under 40, it's interesting to see the tastes dem- onstrated by the group. Last year, we noted that, despite growing up in the digital age, the honorees enjoyed reading a weighty book, like "History of Western Philosophy," by Bertrand Russell. ey also quoted timeless fig- ures like Henry David oreau, Emily Dickinson, Teddy Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr. e oldest of this year's honorees would have been born in late 1983. Yet, like last year's group, this year's honor- ees show a penchant for deep thinking, reading "e Autobiography of Malcolm X: As Told to Alex Haley," "Godel, Escher, Bach," by Douglas Hofstadter, "East of Eden," by John Steinbeck, and "Atlas Shrugged," by Ayn Rand. Some also cited contemporary books by Malcolm Gladwell and works that explore spiritual balance. ey offer up timeless quotes from the likes of Helen Keller, Edna St. Vincent Millay and the Dalai Lama, as well as oreau, MLK and Steinbeck. ere's some wisdom from Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan and Tom Brady thrown in there. But for pure fun, how can we balk at the popu- larity of "Schitt's Creek," "Ted Lasso" or TV classics like "e Gilmore Girls," "e Office" and "Parks & Recreation." Entertainment for all ages.
