Book Review: The Amazing Book of Useless Information

Book Review!

As you now know (from my last post), I am weeding my way through the books in my shelf (I will take a picture of my leaning tower and post it next). Well, in the midst of my pile-shortening of re-reading that has been taking place, a few of the books of my Paperback Swap site have become available and have also shipped to me. Partner that with my frequent Goodwill-ing, and I have added more books to the stack. *sigh. Not a bad deal for the reader in me though - riding the bus gives me plenty of downtime to dive into my latest book:

This is one fun book! It is written just like the title would let on - just useless facts, although this book is broken out by similar items throughout the book. There was a chapter on wine for instance, another about movies, etc. After the first couple of pages, I wished that I could Tweet all of the really neat things I found out about - but alas, most of them were above the character limit. I think this would be a great book for a road trip, plane trip, any type of travel really - you can start and stop pretty much anywhere, unless you are one of those sticklers for the I must stop at the ENDs only of chapters! Heaven forbid stopping mid-chapters of you out there.There are a bunch more of these books in the collection. This was one of my Swap books - and I have the original at home that just arrived yesterday! Joy!
