100 Things You're Not Supposed To Know: Secrets, Conspiracies, Cover Ups, And Absurdities (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
This was a Goodreads Giveaway book for me. I like books of lists like this. You can read it in bed at night, and eat, er, read as much as your tired eyes will allow. Russ Kick's book is filled to the brim with interesting factoids.Some are kind of funny. Some are terrifying. Some will shock you. Some will simply confirm things you thought to be true. (Like politicians are BIG, FAT LIARS. . . even under oath.) This is an informative, entertaining book, and I highly recommend it. Russ Kick has an axe to grind and is evident throughout this VERY EASY read. Some of the 100 anecdotes offered here have been common knowledge for some time and are not "revolutionary" in their revelation. There are a few nuggets that gave me a wee bit of a pause but as an educator, a scientist and an eternal skeptic I found the lack of evidence or single case studies to be less than overwhelming. Run read, great for party trivia and takes maybe an hour, tops to finish. Don't pay full price, borrow from a friend or go to your recycled books store. The latter is where my copy will end up.
