Title: Fun Trivia Book
Review: Learned of this book from an ad in the A Word A Day e-mails and thought it looked interesting for the price. This book contains assorted lists (for example, '5 Scandals That Rocked Art') classified into 15 major subjects ('Art History' to 'Religion'). Each entry in a list is followed by a paragraph; the lists average 2 pages each.The book is fun but not as funny as the authors seem to think. A few lists are horribly trite (e.g. '3 Rock Gods Who Died At 27') and some are mere opinion ('7 Classic TV Episodes That Should Be Sent into Space to Demonstrate to Aliens What We Earthlings Call 'Funny'').The 'Fake Your Way Through A Conversation' sidebars are witty and the page layout is attractive. Considered subscribing to the magazine but have not done so yet. My copy came with a 50%-off subscription offer.
