Another great addition

I just love reading these books. My Uncle John library is growing by leaps and bounds. The daily bits of trivia I read are helping to keep my mind sharp as I struggle to remember and re-tell the interesting stories I read. Keep them coming, please. I am so looking forward to the book about music coming out next month. Thanks Uncle John.

A Match Made in Heaven...or...in Uncle John's Bathroom!

Here is a classic match of author and subject. For decades now Uncle John & Co. has been enlightening readers with wonderfully interesting facts, stories and what-have-you on numerous and sundry subjects, a few of which were definitely oddball in nature. If you've been hoping for a whole Uncle John volume devoted to just the odd, the offbeat and the bizarre, your prayers are answered. Here it is...and it's a hoot! As just a sampling of what awaits the reader - within the book's 321 pages, they will learn of amazing coincidences, celebrity death conspiracies, odd baseball injuries, instances of amazing luck, the weird world of art, quack weight loss regimes, insect oddities, the African lake that burped and killed 2,000+ people, amazing tales of survival, the CIA's attempt to turn cats into mobile listening devices, what happened to at least seven men who tried to steal wire from live power lines(!), lost TV pilots, looney English lords, a museum devoted to body parts, examples of bad writing, odd medical disorders, fried chicken heads and other "tasty" delicacies from around the world, really strange solutions to problems, strange showbiz acts and much, much more. It's all true and it's all entertaining. Buy it, you'll love it!
