  6. First editions: A rare present

    Never mind the Morlocks. For a book lover, the most chilling scene in the 1960 screen adaptation of "The Time Machine" is the one in which the Time Traveler is taken to the decrepit library of the Eloi race. "I can learn all I want about you from books," he exults. But when he picks up one of the neglected tomes, it crumbles to dust in his hands. "Yes," he states ruefully, "they do tell me all about you."

  10. No walk in the park

    In 2008, when Malcolm Gladwell wrote a New Yorker essay called &ldquo;Late Bloomers,&rdquo; author Ben Fountain served as exhibit A. The story outlined how Fountain had given up a solid legal career to pursue writing. After 18 years &mdash; during which Fountain's wife, Sharon, supported their family with her own legal career &mdash; Fountain &ldquo;took the literary world by storm,&rdquo; as Gladwell put it, with his short story collection, &ldquo;Brief Encounters with Che Guevara.&rdquo; The book won a Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award and sold well. At the time, Fountain was 48. The core question Gladwell's essay sought to answer was &ldquo;Why do we equate genius with precocity?&rdquo;
