Description

Why is our lucky 13th edition All-Purpose? Uncle John himself explains: "You can read this Bathroom Reader anywhere--in the obvious spot, in bed or, heck, by the pool or at work." Why Extra-Strength?

Here are 13 reasons to read this book: Triskaidekaphobia, the fear of ten plus three Military surplus: The story of carrot cake The real-life inspiration behind Dracula Going Ape: The history of Tarzan People who married themselves Politically incorrect toothpaste Legendary business blunders Hollywood's biggest bombs Wide world of weird sports Dog food for thought The birth of the CD Dumb criminals Zappa's Law And much, much more!… (more)

Just plain fun to read. Informative and funny.

Yes, I read the whole thing. It's a great little book, whatever purpose you might have in owning it. It's full of interesting tidbits that you can read wherever you are. If you are a trivia fan, this is definitely for you. I can't believe anyone would rate this book with one star. What were they
