Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Eccentrically organized, Cameron Tuttle's The Paranoid's Pocket Guide is a cautionary guidebook to take you into the millennium or, at the very least, put your worst fears in perspective. "Fright Bites!" ("In 1996, the Centers for Disease Control reported that it does not have a large enough budget to research all of the emerging pathogens") burst in on thematically arranged sections such as "Militias," "At Home," "Hypochondriac's Alert," and "At The Gym." Do you know that "every year, close to 200 exercisers fall victim to metal seat posts when the seats on their stationary bikes collapse?" More pointedly, do you need to? Lightning, in Tuttle's total scheme, glitters through the book as a significant leitmotif. It's entertaining, but probably not the best book to read on a long airplane ride.

Is your Caesar salad swarming with salmonella? Sure you didn't leave the oven on? What if this compendium of beyond Seinfeldian, fear-inducing factlets gives you worries you never had before (is your alarm clock giving you brain cancer)? What if, snorting back laughter while reading it, you rupture a key blood vessel?
