Inside the Mind of an American Family

Written by the bestselling and award-winning author, Robert Kolker, the book follows the Galvin family of twelve children—six of them diagnosed with schizophrenia. Ultimately, it's the story of a midcentury American family and how a horrible mental disease gave the medical field its greatest hope in the quest to understand it.

Air Jordan 7 Neutral Grey

Available at 10 am EDT

My personal favorite Jordans are back and this iteration are inspired by none other than everybody's favorite cartoon rabbit. Completely covered in grey faux fur and foam pink accents make this a great ode to Mr. Bugs Bunny. The shoe comes from a childish place but look authentically great and very much like a sneaker you could wear all the time.

This 16-bit game inspired by Mad Max is anything but dated. Originally released for only Windows, the game has been upgraded for nearly every console. In Convoy, a player must scour the wastelands of a desert planet in a defensively outfitted semi-trailer truck for parts to a crashed spaceship. Raw and edgy, this game will keep you occupied for days.
