It was very entertaining. I also read The Mental Floss History of the United States, recently, and absolutely loved it. Look that one up, too, if you like history. It's loads of fun.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-9131537013964017112011-05-05T10:04:11.439-05:002011-05-05T10:04:11.439-05:00I've never heard of mental_floss (hangs head i...I've never heard of mental_floss (hangs head in embarrassment) but I LOVE humorous non-fiction books, so I'm off to track this one down.

I agree -- it's a lot more fun to read factoids about science, history, etc., when they're written with a big dollop of humor.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-3897218970755701812011-05-05T06:43:00.300-05:002011-05-05T06:43:00.300-05:00In the past I have loved the Mental Floss magazine...In the past I have loved the Mental Floss magazines, so I think I would probably really enjoy this book. When science is given flavor and humor, it's a lot easier for me to digest and enjoy.
