This bathroom book with attitude contains over 1,000 shocking stories, fascinating factoids, unforgettable quotes, hilarious humor, and startling trivia to keep you entertained while you heed Nature'¬?s call. Pull up some porcelain and let Garbage entertain you with essential sports trivia, disgusting presidents, and kinky sex; or take a load off and learn how to avoid jury duty, clone your dog or cat, be a movie extra, get a raise, or work your way out of traffic tickets. Keep this treasure trove at the ready and make those visits to the loo even more satisfying.‚Ä¢ Spouting random tidbits of knowledge gleaned from GRETA GARBAGE will make you the envy of your friends and the life of the party (as long as you don'¬?t divulge where you did your research!).For a list of appearances by this author, check out our Calendar of Events.

Review

"Speaking of quality books, there'¬?s a paperback titled Greta Garbage'¬?s Outrageous Bathroom Book. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am in it. Twice. I mention this only out of fear that someone else might if I don'¬?t. Also that these someones might notice I am not quoted in anything Brokaw, Jennings or Rather have authored." -Cindy Adams, gossip columnist for the New York Post "Expert psychological advice to help you snoop and get the scoop out of anyone." - Woman'¬?s Own "Lives up to its title. It'¬?s a brisk, adult read for the bathroom. This book will keep you on the edge of your toilet seat."- Sacramento Bee"Great book!" -Howard Stern "Funny. . . . a lulu of a read for the loo." - The Sacramento Bee"Just-plain-interesting topics . . . to practical advice you rarely find elsewhere." - www.poopreport.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably fantastic book, November 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Greta Garbage's Outrageous Bathroom Book (Paperback)

This book is so chock full of interesting and funny things I couldn't put it down. I kept turning to different pages and finding more that I wanted to read. This could be the most fascinating book out there! I read the author's other book "That's Disgusting" so I picked this one up when I saw it. I loved the other but there's much more to read here (althouugh most of it is less disgusting) about celebrities and sex and sports and TV and movies and lots of other things. My only objection is that I don't think it has to be a "bathroom" book. Maybe it should just have been a trivia and humor book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, February 8, 2002

josh_the_k (Northern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Greta Garbage's Outrageous Bathroom Book (Paperback)

All throughout reading this book I was entertained and fascinated at the same time. The first few chapters (on celebrities and sex) has some of the most interesting facts and trivial bits I've ever read. It's also quite funny in how the bits are presented, as Greta Garbage has a wicked sense of humor.

The only problem was that the book needed a better editor; there were a lot of typos, some more glaring than others (in one instance, Melissa Joan Hart is identified as the daughter of Joan Rivers). That's my only real problem; I really think of the book as deserving four and a half stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than Uncle John's, September 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Greta Garbage's Outrageous Bathroom Book (Paperback)

This book is so much better than Uncle John's -- most of it is about sex and celebrities and a lot of the small stuff you find on each page is very funny. It's also cheaper than John's and there's a lot more to read -- I wish Greta (woman? secretly a man?) would write one every year like Uncle John does but I looked it up and only found that she (he) has written one other book titled "That's Disgusting"
