Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words by Randall Munroe

3.0

I am a big fan of Randall Munroe and I definitely enjoyed this book. However, I would've enjoyed it more if each of the labeled items were named with its real name and then described using the 1000 most common words. I chuckled at a lot of the descriptions, particularly of items I already know well. The common word descriptions of the items I don't know well were helpful but I would have liked to know what they are actually called.
