Customer Reviews

Always great...

What can you say about Uncle John's that hasn't been said? Always entertaining, thoroughly engaging. This one especially drew me in with an extended series on the history of football. I noticed more spelling errors than usual while reading this one, but the content as always was great.

Awesome Book!

I hate reading... Specially a couple pages at a time while sitting on the John... however this book is awesome... It is perfect for those long sittings and those short sittings... :)

My Book for Anyone

If you're looking for something unique, different, and just a little crazy I'd most certainly suggest Uncle John's Supremely Satisfying Bathroom Reader. Described as a zany mix of trivia, strange but true stories, hilarious things people just had to and so much more! It's sectioned off into a wide variety of topics and lengths making it a possible reading choice whether you've only got a minute or two or a whole hour (and of course everything in between). Best of all I found all of the different articles equally interesting. Things which I would never even consider reading became personal favorites which I've read again and again. I can say completely honestly that this book actually has something for everyone! Despite the title I found that you can take this book anywhere, which means of course you'll find it evenly "satisfying" on your couch or in bed. Please take the chance to enjoy this fabulous book!

Typos Abound

I have always enjoyed sitting down to read the BRI's tomes (pity they're not located in Flushing, N.Y.), but I am becoming more and more distracted by and annoyed at the multitude of typographical errors that appear in these books. I have now added to my bathroom magazine rack a highlighter on a string so that I, as a compulsive proofreader, can record for posteriority (oops, a typo) these indicators of the compilers' carelessness. Unfortunately, poor proofreading can undermine the authority of the information presented. The BRI staff should take note of this.

Another Winner from the Bathroom Reader's Institute

I own several Uncle John's books. I was very pleased to get the latest (14th) book in this fantastic series. Like all the previous editions, I loved this book for the amazing amount of information from every possible sphere of knowledge: from the thoughts of Socrates to the the history of the bra, from the origins of the familiar phrases and words to the secret Hitler's files, etc. The weakest point in all these books is a lack of an index. It is quite difficult to find a specific piece of information since the articles are not arranged in any particular order and the table of contents is done by topic and not in alphabetical order. The task of looking up information is getting even harder if one is not sure what book to look in. Recently, it took me quite a long time to find the article on the philosophy of the food display in the supermakets. I believe that a good index would be appreciated by all faithful Uncle John's readers, including me.
