Raymond Huber makes a recommendation that caught my interest. He describes the value he got from reading The Phantom Tollbooth by Norman Juster, a book I've never read, though I've heard or read the title often enough. His post is here and here is a little of what he says about the book. I'm now in pursuit of a copy :
"More than any other book I read as a child The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster gave me a love of words– it puns them, pushes them, and explodes their meaning."
Sounds like my kind of read.

The pesticide is extremely toxic to the world’s most beneficial insect, the honey bee – a nerve poison 7000 times more lethal than DDT. The pesticide (Confidor) contains nicotine-based poisons which are now banned in France, Italy, Germany, and Slovenia, because of links to massive bee deaths."
