I love this book, and I never intend to finish “consuming” it. It’s nothing short of an encyclopedia of the inane, a compendium of trivialities, and a Bible for those who find God in the details of life. Every time I’m feeling down, I pick up the book and discover things like “The most common name for a boat in 1996 is Serenity.”

The thing is that a creative person can come up with a use for every single fact in the book. That’s what makes it so fun. Perhaps one day I will meet a man with a boat named serenity. “So, you got it in 1996, eh?”
