I enjoy trivia. I find a lot of the pop culture stuff in here fairly boring, especially the ones that are formatted like "People who [have a pilot's license/were adopted/were married 8 times]" and then just a long list of names. I actually read the second book first (oops. I've had these books lying around forever and have read them before, so it's not a big deal. Also it's not as though there's any sort of continuity to worry about), and it improves on this aspect.

Fun little book about all things wordy and alphabetical that's a mixture of the pedestrian (palindromes and acronyms), the bizarre (United Arab Emirates is the longest country name with alternating vowels and consonants), and the hilarious (the phrase Hobson's choice resulted from a stingy horse dealer who forced buyers to take only the horse next to the wall and gave them no say in the matter - hence Hobson's choice). Its a great book to read cover to cover (will only take an hour, tops) or dip into for your own amusement and/or education (did you know Hull City is the only British football club whose letters cannot be filled in with pencil?) If you like words, if you like unusual and weird facts, or if you just like learning utterly useless things, you will love this little book.… (lisätietoja)

Mostly useless trivia, but an entertaining and interesting read. Hopefully some things will stick in mind to throw around at cocktail parties :)

Very handy book with lots of info and statistics about murderers. Only negative thing is that it is very outdated.
