The Phantom Tollbooth
Norton Juster
RIP, Norton Juster. Mrs. Grove read "The Phantom Tollbooth" aloud to my 4th grade class...one of the most enchanting experiences of my life. Tock finally took you, but you gave a million lifetimes' worth of joy. https://t.co/1IFmUg2oN3

Network Propaganda: Manipulation, Disinformation, and Radicalization in American Politics
Yochai Benkler
I just finished an eye-opening new book, "Network Propaganda," by @YochaiBenkler and colleagues. Documents the right-wing media echo chamber like never before. Good summary at this @CatoInstitute event. But then read the book. https://t.co/kNXnDyjgOL

The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure
Greg Lukianoff
New book by @glukianoff and @JonHaidt is a revelation. Why are children so anxious, why are students so censorious, why is politics so polarized? "The Coddling of the American Mind" solves more of the puzzle than anything I've read. https://t.co/U67eTvRfCa
