The Areas of My Expertise: An Almanac of Complete World Knowledge Compiled with Instructive Annotation and Arranged in Useful Order by John Hodgman

3.0

An absurd almanac of fake facts, stories, and lists. It's entertaining, with definite echoes of Lemony Snicket-style wry humor and word-working. Is it meant to be read cover-to-cover? Probably not, but it's worth peeking into now and then for a made-up history of the lobster in America or a list of American presidents with hooks for hands. Recommend in small doses.
