Can't Put it Down!

Don't read this book if you have to be somewhere important in the next 30 minutes. You'll be late! It's a "can't put it down" journey, once again confirming that truth is far funnier than fiction. Learn about the top 10 foods that boost sex drive (which now explains why Cheez Wiz is so popular!), or how to keep a camel from getting pregnant. For students, the best mnemonics ever are found between the covers of this treasure trove of information, from science to the sublime. Like potato chips, you probably won't be able to buy just one...your friends and family will thank you. Try taking turns reading aloud at your next dinner party!
