10 Things You Might Not Know About Nearly Everything: A Collection of Fascinating Historical, Scientific and Cultural Trivia about People, Places and Things

There were things I didn't know I found this book full of many interesting factions. Some of them I had prior knowledge and some I had not heard of before. I don't want to try and go into great deal on the factions presented here, but I will say if you are trivial junkie like I am then read this book. It was funny reading. There was only one shortcoming in this book and that was the same facts were presented twice in some chapters, but I did not find these. Lynn S. Bay said Mostly Chicago Trivia. Should have been titled " 10 Things You Might Not Know mostly about Chicago". "Fun trivia book, but easy to read!" according to Amazon Reader. I love trivia and this fit the bill. It covered a wide range of topics. It did go into more detail around Chicago than I needed to know, but that's okay - it was still interesting! Just fun reading!
