From the champions of offbeat humor at the Bathroom Readers' Institute, whose books have sold more than 3 million copies, Uncle John's is a hodgepodge of quirky facts, odd anecdotes, and pure wacky fun.

This review is from: Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Page-A-Day Calendar 2005: 365 Days of Fascinating Facts and Offbeat Information (Page-A-Day Calendars) (Calendar)

Since it's not clear whether the calendar exists, I'd like to say that the original "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader" makes me happy every time I find one in someone's "reading room". The older versions (and probably the new ones) had enough fact, fiction, humor, etc. to keep me happy no matter what mood I was in.

Of course, one can't pick and choose with a calendar. If you want to be surprised by something to read of a completely different genre each day, this is the calendar to buy.

By the way, I only know the first book (in the long series) very well and so it is the only one I recommend.
