Customer Reviews

Took a Risk buying this book, SO GLAD I DID!

Normally, I wouldn't think of buying this kind of book, but it's been a GREAT addition to our bathroom; we love it! What I love about this bathroom reader book is that all the passages are good, readible sizes, nothing's too long that you have to continue reading it in another sitting (ha-ha). :-) There are some informative sections and some funnies, and interesting quotes. It's a sizeable book that contains many things you'd normally not hear about - the CIA and LSD experimentations (dates back to the Nazi's), people famous for being naked (pg. 157), and a quiz section about law, etc!You never know what the next page will reveal, it's always a surprise. I also enjoy the bottom of the pages that give you one line info tidbits such as "How can you tell when a kangaroo is nervous? It licks its forearms. Nobody knows why." Interesting! And...."20% of drivers get 80% of the traffic tickets".....and finally "60% of pets in Great Britain have some form of health insurance". Great facts that you'd normally not read elsewhere. This book has 500 pages, lots of reading, and we were surprised it's so interesting. I will definitely buy another edition of this BRI (Bathroom Reader's Institute) Series. Probably great to give as gifts (for fun). Enjoy and remember like the book says "Go with the flow".

My Boss Hates this book, but we love it!!!

A co-worker brought this book into our work and put it in the bathroom. Ever since, all of my co-worker's bathroom breaks have gotten a little longer than usual. It is a wonderful thing for any bathroom. The content is absolutely fascinating and the passages are short enough that it doesn't take a long time to finish each one.But beware!!! Especially bosses out there who don't want their employees taking long bathroom breaks. When this book is put into a bathroom, the bathroom suddenly becomes one of the most popular rooms in the place.

Great for anytime

This book is absolutely a must if you love to read. It has everything from funny quotes and happenings to the history of late-night TV. Also, there is a little known or interesting fact on the bottom of every page. Since I received this book for Christmas last year, I have increased my knowledge of completely irrelevant, but interesting facts by at least 40%. This is great not only for when natures calls, but for long car trips, and whenever you run out of good reading material (which, despite all the magazines I get, seems to happen much too often.)

It was an excellent book.

I though that this was a fantastic book. It was informative and amusing, filled with trivia and history. If you have ever wondered about anything around you then this is the book for you. You never know what you are going to find on the next page.

For the person who wants to know everything about nothing!

This book along with all the Uncle John books just make the time in the bathroom go so much faster. With Stories about presidents to rock stars to average people. You can open to any page and just read. If I could give it 10 stars I would. I would give it 12 stars if I got a free copy of their new book!
