Oh joy. Treasures and wonders and sophistication....well at least that's what I thought when I devoured it 23 times over and over as a kid. I still remember "the skunk rolled down a hill and fractured his larynx" which is a translation of one of the hardest tongue twisters. From the BOL 2?? Oh..and the memorial to the Boll Weavil. And those people with a twin's head growing out of their forehead. And the islands for sale. And the wonders of Anais Nin. And Ben Franklin's fetish for older women. And people who died during sex. And the superlong palindrome with all those names. And that picture of the person eating an arm. The Book of Lists. Oh joy.

Some content not only breezed over my head as a kid, it scared me witless; but I learned that information is powerful, sometimes scary. Scholarship, on the other hand, is overrated. Scholarship is for the birds. The Book of Lists/ Peoples Almanac amalgamation is my favorite.
