The Book of General Ignorance

This book is rather entertaining. I always loved random facts but I would often be disappointed if there was no explanation as to how that those are true. This book made up for that. It explains every fact in great detail. However, some of the topics that were presented in this book aren't given a real answer by the author. It sometimes seems to focus more on simply proving us, readers, wrong instead of giving us the right answer. That was actually rather humorous to me. Some things are so completely irrelevant and almost never a part of common knowledge though. So it simply didn't seem correct to place those in this book in the first place. I'm not really complaining though, since it's always good to learn more, just wishing there was more interesting ones which I could share with my peers haha.

Certainly an entertaining book to read and to take with a grain of salt. Some of the information it contains is incorrect or outdated, however. If anything, it should motivate people to seek truth for themselves and not take the word of others or of the author as unquestionably trustworthy.

A few eyebrow raising moments and fun "didjaknows." Entertainingly written and fast reading. I am personally unburdened with the notion that I am full of facts. Which makes this book a lot of fun. Buy it.
