How to: absurd scientific advice for common real-world problems by Randall Munroe 3 stars

[Rachel N.]

Randall Munroe walks the reader through how to do everyday things in a very complicated manner, including how to dig a hole and how to be on time. This is all done with humor, a bunch of physics equations and some stick figure drawings. Munroe also includes random factoids scattered throughout the book. The funniest part to me was how not to win an election including making your platform " I promise to legalize crystal meth and use the profits from the sale to fund terrorists." If you haven't read anything by Munroe I think his What if? book is better but this book was still fun and interesting.

I haven't read What If. I should read it because I really enjoyed How To. I just finished it and gave it 4 stars. :)
