mental_floss: The Book: The Greatest Lists in the History of Listory

I am pretty much the most curious person, ever. I have so much unnecessary information stored in my brain — it's ridiculous.This book works amazingly well for people like me.It has so many random knowledge pieces, some might say it's too random, but those people probably don't know why we're not allowed to use cell phones on airplanes, or about celebrities and their hilarious phobias.This book would make you seem like the most annoying know-it-all, yet smartest and most credible person in every social, family and work gathering. Just... Don't be annoying. Use your powers for good, not evil.This book is highly recommended for knowledge-seekers and lovers, and of course, to list lovers as well.(People who enjoy websites like Listverse and cracked would enjoy this book very much)This is also a great gift for just about anyone, and a great coffee table book.

This book is rich with a vast amount of information..but to be quite honest, I just found a lot of the topics not interesting.

I enjoyed this book and its useless (at times) information that gives you a lot of facts that you may never get to to use.

I have always enjoyed the Mental Floss books! And this one doesn't disappoint. It's thought provoking and just plain fun.

Fantastic condition. Great book. Quick delivery

Maybe it's an odd gripe but there was something busy and cluttered about the formatting that diminished its appeal for me, more so in person than in the Look Inside view. But the content was fine otherwise.

I have always loved trivia, and when Mental Floss the magazine first appeared, I was thrilled. I have loved every book they produced, which includes The Book. It is filled with fascinating trivia covering a wide variety of topics. For anyone who is a knowledge junkie, I highly recommend this book.

All kinds of things I didn't know. It was a perfect birthday gift for a friend that is a trivia geek. She loved it

Easy reading information book. FULL of stuff you would never even think about.... :0)

Gave this book as a gift and it was thoroughly enjoyed. Along the same lines as 'Uncle John's Bathroom Readers', it contains interesting facts and tidbits.
