A cute little book full of bits and pieces you might find in headlines, or in the pages of your favorite magazine. Not quite sure everything rang true, and it could have been set up better (not having little bits cross over two pages, having the answers in the back more organized (and complete)

When it was the puzzles/games, it was tons of fun. The other half of the book was dull.

While generally interesting, there's not much book there and much of the thin volume is filled with credits and attributions.

Brain Candy, by Garth Sundem, is an eclectic collection of statistics, studies, and stories about how our brains work. Sundem haphazardly arranges the minutiae of cognitive facts in an almost 300 page deluge. Some of this stuff is actually super interesting and would make for great conversation topics, but the book wore on me as I neared the ending.
