Piers Marchant

Actually a reference book of sorts, not humor. No acknowledgment that popes thus far have been overwhelmingly white (it's noted that there were three African popes but no more mention is made) and all male, which may seem obvious to those familiar with Catholicism but which raises questions for those with different beliefs. The material is a compendium of factual snippets. It gives the very basics without much detail or flavor. I have no clear sense of why it was written in the second person.

This book is kinda funny. For example, it gives you a list of restaurants the pope has visited, or a diagram of the locations of the gas station and post office in Vatican City. It has nothing to do with religion in general (it doesn't express positive or negative feelings toward the pope/catholic church). It just talks about the day to day life of the pope. It will take you all of an hour to read.
