Book Reviews of Mental Floss Presents Condensed Knowledge: A Deliciously Irreverent Guide to Feeling Smart Again
Book Review: Great Bathroom Literature
Summary: 3 Stars
When I want to read something interesting in a "limited" timeframe, I reach for Condensed Knowledge. Much like the magazine of the same name ("Mental Floss"), C. Knowledge consists of many page or paragraph length snippets of information on a plethora of topics. Your view of history may vary with personal politics, but there's something for everyone in this tome. Some reviewers have chimed in to point out inaccuracies. I personally didn't notice any, but wouldn't discount such a claim, as many of these facts are so random as to be unbelievable. Needless to say, I won't be going into surgery tomorrow using anything I learned reading "Condensed Knowledge".
