Batroom Reader Should Make Space In Your Bathroom!

The Biggest Bathroom Reader Ever is a great book for adults who feel like they can never accomplish reading because the book is big. Well, okay the book is huge but the articles are only 3 to 4 pages long. The things are really humorous and inquisitive. For example, on page 530 it says that the country of Brazil was named after the Brazil nut. Some of the articles titles are Brand Names, Who Cracked The Liberty Bell?, Diner Lingo, and Dumb Crooks. If youre looking for a good book I would definitely recommend this book. Also, if you are loking for books to fill your shelf, the bathroom reader series should be on your shopping list.- FeatherBall

Makes you a little more interesting.

If you aren't very smart, don't know how to start a conversation, or better yet take a long time in the bathroom you need this book. It is filled with facts that you want to know not facts that you could care less about (not completely true since there are some stupid stuff but you aren't forced to read it). Did you know that more people have seen David Copperfield perform live than any other performer in the world. Or did you know that blue birds cannot see the color blue. Give this book a try. I love this book because knowing random stuff is always good to know.

Excellent book

Great great book with tons of fun facts, stories, and pieces of interesting, odd, and useful information. An interesting read for any age.

A Big Book of Fun

Great book. A compendium of interesting facts. Something for everyone. Not just for the john anymore. Researchers, teachers, grandparents and anyone who likes trivia will get a charge out this book. Just a lot of fun for trivia junkies and others with insatiable curiosity.

The most fun you can have in a bathroom

This 15th annual edition of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader is actually a combination of two previously published books: Uncle John's Great Big Bathroom Reader & Uncle John's Ultimate Bathroom Reader. This allows the Bathroom Readers' Institute (BRI) to deliver 768 pages of little known facts, pop culture tidbits, weird news items, and intriguing origins of everyday things.Articles in the text are not arranged in any particular order so an eight page Contents section at the front of the book is a great guide to your reading pleasure. Thirty three subject categories are used to group the articles which are then subdivided by length. Short articles are one page long. Medium ones are two pages. Long articles are either three or four pages, and Extended articles can run as long as eight pages. Two articles are so long they are broken into several Long parts. One on the history of Miss America is seven parts long, and the World's Tallest Buildings has eight parts.Some of the articles in the book are brainteasers, puzzles, or quizzes. The answers to these are grouped together on the last eleven pages of the book.There is a footnote on each page that contains an interesting fact. E.g.: On page 347 we are told that the shortest performance to win an Oscar was Anthony Quinn's 8 minutes as Gauguin in the movie Lust For Life. Every U.S. president with a beard was a Republican is on page 399. On page 605 the note states that King Louis XV bathed just three time sin his entire life.The BRI claims to gather the most interesting and little-known facts from many sources and they encourage readers to suggest additions to future volumes. Perfect for the bathroom, this book would also go well on a nightstand, but is too heavy for your backpack. A joy to read.
