Comment: I started getting Uncle John's Bathroom books for my 3 grown sons several years ago - now they're a requested item by each son, every year! Tons of facts in each one, silly, serious, crazy stuff - it's all in there. My big recommendation - have more than one bathroom if your guys love these books!

Summary: Waat are you doing in there? Reading Uncle John.
Comment:
This is the 19th in this Uncle John series and rather than getting "old hat";they keep getting better and better.I guess there is no end to the time we all must wile away in the "Throne Room";so we might as well learn something while we are there.
It's hard to compare one of these books with another;because they are basically all the same;but nonetheless the people who gather this stuff up and publish it for our enjoyment;seem to find unlimited material.
I have been a long time fan and reader of Ripley's "Believe It or Not!"; and both of these series provide much the same type of entertainment.
In these books one never knows what to expect at the turn of the page.
You get a bit of everything as just a couple of items will show.
Page 98 gives us 17 Irish Toasts while page 99 gives us 18 classic curses.
The book is loaded with wisdom such as "It's better to be alone than in bad company".A U.S Citizenship Test,a short history and all about the Pilgrims---And did you know it was from them that President Ronald Reagan got that wonderful quote about "creating a city upon a hill that would serve as a beacon to the rest of the world"? A great little 7 page instruction manual to help you survive if you get lost. And on and on.
As I finish this one;I am ready to start another.

Summary: If the title bothers you, use a plain brown wrapper!
Comment: Uncle John's Curiously Compelling Bathroom Reader is just what the title says. Oh, you can read it anywhere you want. That part of the title is open to debate. There's something here for everybody in this masterpiece of literature! There's history, humor, science and tons more. It's just plain awesome.

More than 500 pages also includes popular culture and lots of fascinating trivia, including the origins of slang. You're sure to come away from this reading experience "talking like a book" -- that's a 19th century slang for speaking eloquently. Like the Japanese, you might start eating Kit-Kat candy bars for good fortune. (At any rate, that's what they say, and ANY excuse to eat that works for me!)

Buy this book, gentle readers. It's not to be missed!
