Each of the short, readable chapters in Fascinating Facts focuses on one obscure or quirky fact, sometimes paired with a related detail, that ties in to an author’s life or work. Even those well-versed in literary history will find lots of new trivia to contemplate and enjoy. Dave Astor has been working on this entertaining collection since 2011, discovering the details by reading biographies and scouring websites devoted to the featured authors.

It was informative, enjoyable and easy to read book. I learned some new trivia, explored some new names and genres I might not have been exposed to before, and added some things to my to be read list. I really appreciated how the book is laid out. There are no consequences for reading out of order, leaving us the opportunity to pick it up and put it down at will... I think it would make a perfect gift option too.
Fun, interesting and informative.

I love trivia and I love books. This tome was truly OK. I did learn some new stuff but I thought some of the coincidences were stretched. If you like Dad jokes, you'll enjoy the author's humor.

Sometimes, we get to know about (however from a distance) great people from what they write. The author of this book has been one of them for me. I didn’t know of Dave Astor’s blog or his other work until I read this book. If I was ever entertained by a serious book written in a light-hearted voice, it is this book which boasts an abundance of fascinating tidbits on authors and literature.
