Book #9
I quite like QI and I'd got some money for Chanuka, so when I saw that this was only £5, I bought it. If you're the sort of person who knows lots of random trivia, or just a generally inquisitive sort, then I think you'll like this book. It's full of facts, but they're the kind of facts that people generally know despite being actually incorrect. That was mainly why it appealed to me, I do like to educate myself.
I found the book quite interesting - like the title says! - and I read through it in a couple of days. It's a very easy read, and although it's not really the kind of thing that you could really read from cover to cover, I found it easy enough to do so. It certainly doesn't patronise or look down on the reader for not knowing these particular facts. If anything, it seems to be happy to inform and pass on the correct information. I liked it and would certainly recommend it to other inquisitive types.
