Thanks for the recommendation, Harold. I have bought a copy online. I am really enjoying it, even if only up to chapter 5 now. Shows how mentoring of inquisitive young people is so influential.

From Harold Michels
This may not be literature in there classical sense, but a few years ago, I came across an very informative and entertaining book, "Uncle Tungsten-Memories of A Chemical Boyhood" by Oliver Sacks, the famous neurologist, physician and author. It is a light read but enjoyable worthwhile walk through the Periodic Table of Elements.
