I have owned several copies of this book since my father gave me a copy years ago and it is still one of the best reads out there. If you can find a copy of this I suggest getting it.

This is a very interesting book. You'll be so entertained when reading this thing that you won't realize what else you're doing... learning history! Yep.. a lot of this book is about scandalous things of the past.I would suggest this book to any and everyone (as long as they're over a certain age. Some of it might not be appropriate for younger kids, but I doubt they'd even WANT to read this book.) Read about people who met their deaths while sitting on the toilet or having sex! Learn about how much fly feces is in your candy bar! Most of all, have FUN with this book. It's really thick, so it should keep you entertained for quite awhile.
Truth is stranger than fiction.

I love this book. I entertained myself and my sister-in-law by reading some of the lists aloud, especially the ones that pertain to death. This book is twisted humor at its very best.
Great, great, great!!
