Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs by Ken Jennings
funny
informative
reflective
fast-paced
4.0
Half memoir of his time on Jeopardy and half history of trivia in America, the book might have been stronger if it was fully a history rather than also a memoir (I found the back and forth narrative jarring and there was a lot more that could be said about trivia and the stories and people behind it.
That said, Ken Jennings is a surprisingly good author and this book is very enjoyable, like all his others.
