Uncle John's series of Bathroom Readers are delightful compendiums of interesting facts and trivia. This volume consists of multiple 2-4 page articles on topics like famous bank robbers or the birth of well-known phrases. While purportedly written to read in the bathroom, I have always read them like a regular book. All of them have a humorous tone and are hard to put down.
