I don't always 'get' some of the cartoons in magazines and newspapers, but here's a collection I did understand: The Ultimate Cartoon Book of Book Cartoons by the World's Greatest Cartoonists, edited by Bob Eckstein. This is a fun gathering of cartoons about books, readers, authors, book stores and so on. Excellent with an afternoon cup of tea. :-)

Humans used to be better about reading the weather ... from the look of the sky, to wind direction, what plants, bugs and animals were doing, and so on. Knowing that sort of thing is helpful in a garden, which is what Peter Wohlleben explains in The Weather Detective: Rediscovering Nature's Secret Signs. This was an interesting read, and, if one is a gardener, most helpful! I especially enjoyed the entry on telling time by using plants! :-)
