Strange History by Bathroom Readers' Institute

vesper1931's review

4.0

An interesting book to read if you want to learn strange facts about the world. A book that can be dipped in for a few minutes and then put aside. You would certainly learn something most times that you picked up the book. As someone who enjoys history this is a book for me.

This took me an awfully long time to read, but not because I wasn't enjoying it. This is the kind of book you want to have around to read bits and pieces at a time, and it was a lot of fun to read that way.

I did a decent amount of bothering people with random facts while reading through this as well. My friends can testify to the fact that I may have been sending text messages at unholy hours with something that I just knew they would find fascinating.

The easy-to-digest format and quickness of the blurbs, as well as the randomness of the organization (you never knew what would be on the next page) made this the sort of thing that is better suited to long-term reading and not blasting through, and I'd enjoy having it on my coffee table so people could pick it up and flip through during downtime.

This book was provided to me for free via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

If you love history or strangely weird facts, you'll love this book! It's full of cringe-worthy stories about historical figures and events. The perfect bathroom-book!
