by Jack Goldstein

Oh wow, was this a cool read. It is exactly what the title says.

There are some really fun and interesting facts and trivia in this book. My favorite is the one I used as my quote above and just about melted my heart. I love Sea Otters. I mean..are they cute or what? It must be so nice to be a sea otter.Falling asleep, while holding hands in the water..so cool.

Here are a few other gems:

The show "Friends" was originally going to possibly have a different title. Some of the runner ups included: Insomnia Café or Once upon a Time in the West Village.

There is a real condition called the Paris syndrome and symptoms include depression and nausea due to people realizing that the city isn’t as beautiful as they previously thought it would be I am not making this up.

The first time Led Zeppelin played "Stairway to Heaven" the audience got bored and booed them, demanding to hear something that they(the audience) were familiar with.

There is so much more. It's a fun book and covers facts from music and film, to wars and royalty to current events. Very enjoyable read and highly recommended. ( )

Certainly a quick and easy read. It was hard to ignore the grammatical and spelling errors though, and a bit strange to find several of them throughout the book. ( )
