I love trivia books, but I couldn't even finish this book. The stories are a poor attempt at humor and "fun facts" being mashed together. These books are usually quick reads for me and this one was just unreadable.

Being a person who appreciates a good bit of cynical snark, Michael Feldman is right up my alley. This is a series of observations from somebody doing live radio in Wisconsin, so it's got a lot of references that you kind of have to be from the Midwest to get. Fortunately (?) I am, so I do. He ribs on everything from his wife to his Jewishness to his hometown; it's very much what you would expect from a self-referential essay collection. Is he the new Garrison Keillor, as the cover proclaims? Nah, don't think so--he's much darker, in a way, than Keillor, much more bitter. Feldman is very funny, though, and if you don't mind dated references (this is from the mid 90s) and a lot of jokes about marriage, this is a quick read. Would probably be good for airports, or other such places where you need a laugh from someone who recognizes the human races is ridiculous.

If you like facts with funny asides than this is your read. Michael Felmen is a masterful architect of this genre. Loved the Quizes between chapters that will definitely get your interest. My youth group loved the Quizes.

The format for this book goes over much better on the radio show. It was interesting in part but 400 pages may have been too much.
