Uncommon Knowledge ( the economist)

Really terrific book. Lots of short topics and written well. I read the full book from London to NY and loved it.

Great book unknown facts

I expected some obscure and impressive information, but most was not very interesting. A disappointment.

Information about things you may hay wondered about but did not know the answers. Covers a wide range of subjects about a page long so you are not bored but with enough detail and no jargon. Useful little book to have to impress your friends with your knowledge without bragging

doesnt require you to read continuously as its by per article
