      Has anyone ever read The Cartoon Guide to the Computer? http://www.amazon.com/Cartoon-Guide-Computer-Larry-Gonick/dp...

      I have given this book to 2 people who told me they wanted to know more about computers. It's very easy to read and does an excellent job of explaining basic computer concepts. Probably not too interesting for this crowd. But it's an excellent introduction to computing.
