Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Uncle John's Exceptionally Large Book of Facts combines the most intriguing, enlightening material from nine previous Bathroom Reader favorites into one concise volume. Flush with delightfully useless — and sometimes even useful — information about sports, movies, music, politics, American and world history, and much more, the book is the most extensive reference guide in the series to date. Contained within this handy, portable tome are the fascinating narratives, terrific trivia, and easy-to-read lists that fans have come to delight in, as well as quotes, facts, findings, and historical tidbits. Weird and wonderful factoid footers on the bottom of each page are perfect for super-quick trips, while quizzes and puzzles enliven lengthier stays. Arranged for simple and speedy reference, the book is the perfect companion for trivia buffs and knowledge junkies who need a quick, fun read not just "at the office", but in airports, waiting rooms, while traveling, or any other moments that would otherwise be wasted.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!!, April 1, 2007
Ive read this book front to back; I love facts.
It's a tad nerdy, but if you like to know things that are obscure that make great for awkward silence or everyday conversation starters, this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, April 6, 2007
By T. Schall (Canton, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great bathroom book! I have learned so much from my trips to the bathroom now. Everyone that comes over and has to use my bathroom now has to know where to find this book because they have to have it. It's great for all that "everything you ever needed to know but never thought about" kind of stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars eat black beans and sit down for extended pleasurable reading., January 14, 2007
If you love books of fact. You really can't beat the Uncle John's series. Even acceptable reading outside the throne room, these page turners have a little bit of everything. Quotes, news, famous people, sports [sports articles tolerable enough for even the least interested]and potpouri. Yes, read these an get ready for Jeopardy! I usually wipe my family across the floor when we play because of these books...except my dad who reads them too.
