1,339 Quite Interesting Facts to Make Your Jaw Drop Hardcover – September 2, 2014

I like books like this. It was interesting as I said, I like to call these books "bathroom books".

Got this for a friend for Christmas and he loves it. It is hard to put down and the vast majority of facts from this book are fascinating, believe it or not. I feel like someone (or a group of people) had to go on an all-out quest in order to attain the sacred knowledge contained in this tome. You will not be disappointed with this book.

Enjoyed reading the facts. Some are very interesting. Enjoyed reading the facts. Some are very interesting. Enjoyed reading the facts. Some are very interesting.

a rather quick read. The facts are just stated. Four to a page. To access their sources you need to log onto QI.com and go to the sources page, type in the page number and see the links. There are errors scattered throughout .The fact that 20 million people died in the Taiping Rebellion was 10% of the world's population should have set off bells with the Elves. Even at the high estimate of 30 million dead would mean a grand total population of 300 million people when the current population guesstimate is closer to 1.6 Billion. 1.5%...10%... pretty...close? No.

Leave this book on the coffee table. Pick it up while the TV commercial is on or when you happen to have a minute to sit down....Open to any page...start reading. You have absolutely no idea how many amazing....some ridiculous...ideas you'll read. Then you may not want to put the book down.

I love fact books of any kind, but this one kept me surprised with each rack! Total entertainment!

Extremely disappointed by the adult humor. This book does not belong on school library shelves like the listing suggested. Although there is a lot of fun in this book, it is for adult eyes only and should be used with discretion. Had to return this gift I had planned on giving.

I bought this book for my husband because he thought it looked interesting. He is really enjoying reading all the various facts. If you like trivia and truth, you will like this book very much.

This book is a useful tool if, like me, you need to have some zany bits of trivia readily available. HOWEVER don't bank on the 100% accuracy of all of them. When I've dug deeper I've found good number of the 'facts' are, in fact, based on hearsay or urban myth and not entirely true. It's a fun book, but if you deal in absolutes, I advise you to check each fact listed before you choose to use/rely on it. Glad I've got it though, as it's a good starting point for this kind of thing.

Very good!
