This was my bedside and bathroom book for probably 6 months before I finished it. It is an excellent book of lists as is and a great place to jump off into other research on any topic within it you may find intriguing.

1.0
I was somewhat enjoying this book to start; about half the lists are genuinely interesting, while the others are pages of entries with no added context or just very repetitive.
And then I got to the lists of "Cures Your Doctors Don't Want You To Know!!!!" that claim people with "mental illnesses" just aren't eating right and cite a chiropractor as a legitimate medical authority (unfairly discriminated against by those evil establishment doctors!!!). Anyone who doesn't do the research into such strongly-debunked pseudoscience is too credible to trust on anything else. I was going to check out his other books, but I prefer people who question the establishment without falling headfirst into sensationalist conspiracy theories.
