false 4914484 1 Have you ever wondered why most books of quotations are stuffed full of rather pedestrian quotes by people you've never heard of? It's a shame because a really good quotation book, one which gathered the truest and funniest insights of the best minds, and organised them into 250 subjects, from ambition to worry, (or from artichokes to woodpeckers), a book which offered you a useful take on almost every situation life throws at you (from the death of your child's hamster to the unified theory of everything), a sourcebook of wise one-loners, of knock-out jokes, of drole asides and heartfelt statements of truth and beauty, a practical handbook of interestingness , well, that would be worth having. And, guess what? Those thoughtful gentlemen at QI have come up with one. Five years of learning how to avoid the dull stuff have left the QI team in a uniquely good position to deliver this elusive holy grail: the big, useful, funny and really very good book of quotations. 4980029 2 10 2008 QI: Advanced Banter total:13|5:6|4:2|3:4|2:1|1:0| 13 52 35 5 3 2 false false Tue Dec 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 06:13:28 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 16 07:21:14 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Aug 12 16:09:38 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 19:31:40 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Dec 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 06 00:49:55 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 00:53:41 -0800 2009 ]]> 5 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 01 07:15:16 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 07:15:50 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jul 30 19:05:01 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 12:56:01 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 19:05:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 15:59:49 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 15:59:49 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 11:43:40 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 11:43:40 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 05 12:39:41 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 12:39:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 05:42:11 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 05:42:11 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Oct 20 09:42:34 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 09:42:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 10 08:11:37 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 08:11:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 05 00:22:58 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 00:22:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 14 05:55:44 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 05:55:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 08 03:21:34 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 03:21:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 02 12:55:53 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 12:55:53 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jul 30 07:34:05 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 07:34:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 20:52:51 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 20:52:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 02 18:55:33 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 18:55:33 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jun 13 16:36:31 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 16:36:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 11 00:36:37 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 23:26:12 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=4914484
