Bug Review

This site may be more useful in the spring and summer when weird things are eating your garden, but it's a pretty complete discussion of lawn and garden insects and what to do to control them.

This one is not very useful, but is fun. Try the pinwheel illusion - if you dare!

Classic Reader

Classic Reader is a marvelous resource for readers who never got around to Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" or have yet to discover P.G. Wodehouse. With seven categories of literature, from fiction to drama, new titles are added regularly. You won't find Stephen King or Tom Clancy because all books published on the site are out-of-copyright, but you will find Virginia Woolf, Balzac, Tolstoy - enough reading to hide out on a desert island for years, if only your ISP would accommodate you.
