Strange History
By Bathroom Readers' InstituteRating: 3 Star
The Bathroom Reader's institute aims to educate the world while they... ummm... freshen up.
This is their latest publication.
The book itself is full of random facts from across the world spanning many hundreds of years. You get historical figures, origins of words, and random facts that may or may not stick in your memory.
The book is organised by theme but you could open the book at random and pick up something new on each bathroom visit.
The facts have been carefully curated to be as memorable as possible and this makes the book a really quick and easy read.
This books scores highly in the novelty factor but wasn't particularly gripping or challenging (not that it was supposed to be).
An entertaining 3 out of 5 from me.
