More About This Book

Overview

Based in part on the popular Web site of the same name, this diverse
collection mixes quirky lists, intriguing facts, and playful reflections
in a unique brew that is entertaining, thought-provoking, and
utterly absorbing. Building on the success of Lumsden's Web site, the
lists in the book have been revised and expanded to include even more
curiosities from around the world. Inside, readers will learn the answers
to such fascinating questions as

• Who wrote "Ode on the Mammoth Cheese"?

• What thirteen things do we inevitably discuss in bars?

• What are the world's most disgusting foods?

• Where do people speak Bile, Poke, or Mango?

• What kind of creature is the bloody trivia?

From interesting general trivia ("Thirteen unusual mammals you
probably haven't heard of") to pop-culture lists ("The real names of 35
comic superheroes") to the odd and unusual ("Twenty-five cheeses
beginning with L"), the range of information in Vitamin Q offers something
for every word lover and trivia buff or anyone drawn to funny and
obscure facts.

    If your money is tight, wait for something else

    I keep this book in the bathroom, as it is VERY light reading, not something you would want to just sit and read. The entries are interesting enough, but nothing compelling have I found yet. I have not read it all, as I usually go to the bathroom with a book in my hand, snyway, so I may never finish it. I think I will leave it there, though, as some guest may pick it up and read a bit sometime.
