Title: Dangerously compelling
Product review: "Schott's Originally Miscellany" is packed full of pointless trivia - why would one ever need to know the names of different icebergs in the normal course of events, or how Burmese kings died? This is, of course, what makes this so compelling to read. The danger - and it is a big danger - is that you bore friends and family to distraction with remarks preceded by "did you know..." as you dip into this volume. The threat to conversation and family sanity notwithstanding, this is a "must-have" book.
