jcburcham's review against another edition

Update 9/20/09: I just realized Rob and I have been "reading" this book for over a year and are barely half-way through it. We try to read one entry each night, but sometimes we take some time off from it. We can definitely tell a difference between the quality of some of the entries, like some of them were written by a great writer, and others by high school students. It's just not very enlightening, yet we keep plugging through it.
update 5/22/10: We finally finished it! Many of the topics (music, science) covered things I already knew, and many of the other topics I didn't particularly care about, but I did learn a little, and most of all, it was enjoyable to spend a few minutes reading to each other every day. We hope to find a similar book to replace this one now.

I enjoyed the little bites of information across a range of subjects, but was a bit disappointed at how Anglo- and Judeo-Christian-centric it was. The topics did start to range further afield toward the end. Hopefully more editions will be forthcoming that build on this one.
