Reviews

[Phillip Fuller]

This was amother winner in the series because the BRI are very good at finding amusing and informative tidbits for their books. I liked the peotic justice of a man accidently shot by an unwanted puppy he was going to shoot. A must read for all fans of books like this.

[J.J. Lair]

I want to dog-ear so many articles and show them to others. This was another great collection of stories. So many I want to re-read. Here’s Johnny-electric chairs-obituaries—famous firsts-famous lasts—word origins.

A lot of trivia

I love to read trivia and this book was no disappointment. I even learned the names of the 3 monkeys that are : hear no evil, speak no evil and see no evil. They really have names. Who knew? I will have to read a second time through just to make sure I didn't miss anything. It literally is jammed full of interesting tidbits. Keep going Uncle John.

[Michael Lunney]

These books help me do Jeopardy in ways that stun and amaze my family. They are huge fun and they have very humorous stories that can get you a seat to yourself on the bus/streetcar/subway or train because of your hysterical laughter. This is very useful. Also, it keeps people from trying to solicit you for money, Jesus, that sort of thing. These books are also good for rereading many times over.

[Phillip Murrell]

I love these books! I love trivia! I get a new one every year for Christmas. I have been a fan since I first found these in December 2007. Not a year has gone by since where I haven't bought at least one. By the 35th anniversary, you're either on board or not. It's more of the same fabulous tidbits as the others.

This might be #35 or #36 depending on who's numbering system you use

I think they closed down the Bathroom Reader's Institute HQ in 2016 and something like two years later retired, but Uncle John let's someone else carry on, and he just writes the introductions now

[Bob Cantrell]

The title says it all. I don't know how many Uncle John's I have read, but I know I love these books. This book like the other will amaze you, make you laugh, and shake your head going what the heck. For the trivia fan I can't think of a better book to read or gift.

Always love Uncle John's facts

I look forward to these books so much!

[Christine]

Always a fun read!

[Tom Darrow]

Another solid offering, although not as memorable as some of the others.

[Andrew]

The usual interesting fare from Uncle John of history, trivia, culture, science, politics, humor, etc. My favorite part, as always, are the little one-line factoids at the bottom of every page.
