A good read of miscellaneous lists. ( )

A big collection of Top Ten Lists. You know the kind of thing: highest-grossing movies, most endangered animals, countries with the highest life expectancy... Only there are lots and lots of them, and some of them are weirdly specific: "Fastest X-15 Flights", "Most Points Scored by Michael Jordan in a Game." And so on. It seems kind of interesting to browse through at first, but the entertainment value of all these big, indigestible chunks of contextless information wears off pretty quickly. It might at least be useful as a study aid if I ever go on Jeopardy!, I guess, although that would call for a more up-to-date edition. ( )
