Bathroom Book of Texas Trivia: Weird, Wacky, Wild

By Lisa Wojna, Winter Desiree Prosapio, Winter Prosapio

Book Overview

Texas and Texans tend to march to the beat of their own drummer, which makes for a fascinating collection of trivia. For example, Texas was once an independent republic, the only state in the union to have that honor. Aurora, Texas, is said to be the site of a crashed spacecraft with the pilot buried in the local graveyard. A room at the Galvez Hotel in Galveston is infamous for sending its guests packing in a hurry. And Texas plays host to one of the world's busiest airports. All this and more in the Bathroom Book of Texas Trivia.

Boy Howdy

Growing up in California, I became a Texan as soon as I knew better. Having missed all of the Texas history and trivia growing up, it was pure delight to read "The Bathroom Book of Texas Trivia". It's a gem for those with little nuggets of time to snatch a quick read. From the snippet about the "Pulpwood Queens of East Texas" to discovering how the Lone Star became Texas' state seal to "The Games People Play", it's a fun and informative read.

A "Must Have" guide to some of the key little things that when summed yield the mystique of a BIG st

Often hilarious, intriguing, or just plain interesting fun quick facts about the Lone Star state. If you know someone who plans to visit or move to Texas (or recently arrived), this will orient them. It will also delight Texas natives and Texas ex-patriates who get homesick. Highly recommended.
