The United States of Absurdity: Untold Stories from American History by Dave Anthony, Gareth Reynolds
3.0
I hope you like bad puns.
This is one of those books that's kind of hard to rate because it's dumb and entertaining. I actually thought a few things in this book were bullshit, but I googled them and I stand corrected.
I think my biggest complaint about this book is the brevity. I think each of these stories could have easily been twice as long. There were times where they would state something ridiculous and then immediately move on leaving me going, "Wait...what? No, what? Go back. Elaborate. There is way more story there."
