This was a fun audiobook listen. Ken Jennings is funny and sarcastic in his writing, which makes the facts more fun to listen to. Not something I would buy to keep, but worth a read to learn which things you heard as a kid are actually true and which are not.

I'm a sucker for Jennings' writing. His brand of dorky humor is right on my wavelength. This the least of his three that I've read (Brainiac, Maphead) but hat comes from its structure of basically being a big FAQ compared to the more purposeful explorations. Light, but lovely.
