Uncle John’s all-new 8th edition is packed with everything that Bathroom Reader fans have come to expect from this stellar series—short, medium, and long articles covering a whole host of topics—everything from dumb crooks to funny quotes to forgotten history. Read about…
Ice cream origins Olympic cheaters Celebrity mummies The first Thanksgiving Groucho’s wit and wisdom Weird tales of the Ouija board The creation of Frankenstein’s monster “Earring Magic Ken” and other weird dolls And much, much more!
All I can say is: I wish I'd started reading these books much earlier. And I wish I'd bought a few for my dad--he would've loved them. Well, I can also say that the Bathroom Readers' Institute never lets the facts get in the way of telling a good story. There are a couple of things in here that I know aren't true (and if I know of a couple, there are surely more). But the whole thing is interesting and entertaining.
I love Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader books! Who doesn’t like trivia? Knowing somewhat useless facts and trivia is just plain fun! There is something for everyone in this collection! Grab a copy and enjoy!
One of the early readers, which makes for a fun read. Like the others in the series this one is packed with a plethora of information. To the fan of trivia this book is one to read.
This series is always filled with interesting little facts and stories and this edition is no different. However, something seemed to be missing just a little compared to prior editions that I've read. Still good, but pick one of the other 20 editions first if you are looking for a bathroom reader.
-The history of the Miss America Pageant! -How the movie Rambo came about and it's trip through development hell! -The inside scoop of the famous Weinermobile! -One of the biggest injustices in Hollywood legal history which involved Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle!
and much more! All in another edition of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader!
