    This book is right up my alley. I am a great reader and collector of trivia. This book is a nice source of mostly interesting and sometimes fascinating factoids. It is eclectic, having no real theme but covers a wide range of subjects. It is a quick read and presented in a very easy to comprehend style. My only complaint is that it is short and leaves one wanting more.

    Caution,this book has the ability to over feed your brain at which point you are in danger of being mistaken for a very learned individual. Something i am not worried about in my case.
    I like the idea that all information contained herein has been checked very carefully for any mistakes.
    I hope everyone that reads this book bets as much enjoyment from it as i did.

    This is a great book to have sitting at your bedside or near the John. Explanations of whys are always interesting to me and these have the added benefit of not being overly long and yet, enough. At the rate I'm reading, I'll be enjoying the "Wise Book"

    I also follow TodayiFoundout.com and have for a couple years and wondered why they didn't have a book out. I was excited when my wife got me this book for Christmas. Just like their website, the book is very well researched and written. The only down side to the book that I can find is it's hard to put down. I finished it in no time and am now awaiting a part two. (hint, hint TodayiFoundOut)

    Interesting book providing a history of words, or why we do things. You have to be a real inquisitive type to enjoy the book otherwise you may just find it annoying. Also there is a related web site which the book is somehow connected to.

    A fun fact book that is interesting and compelling once picked up it’s hard to put down but written in such a way to enable just that! Will be ideal for a travel book for a commute no matter how short or long! Tea break great for that in a waiting room again ideal in fact it’s a book that is designed to pack a punch of informative witty but truthful facts. And I’ve not barely started it I can’t wait for another! It’s got me salivating for more! Got a reader that float reads never finishes a book try this! Or just for the average reader that need encouragement in reading it’s good for a gift that they will thank you for once finished and ask for more!
    Worth every single penny! Value book!
