I have History’s Greatest Lies. It really is a great book. The cover was messed up so the store sold it to me for 1/4 the original price. That was definitely a bonus.

I've been reading Listverse for a couple months now, and this is my first comment. (Kudos on the awesome site, btw) It's funny I own #'s 3 and 1, and I consider #3 to be a much more informative book about a wider variety of subjects than #1, and a much more interesting read to boot. I guess it's all about perspective… I'd like to add one book to an inquiring minds list though, Guy Murchie's "The Seven Mysteries of Life". It's an amazingly informative book about life in general, going through biology, mind, universe, God, etc. my description probably isn't the best but it's the book I've very likely learned the most from that I've ever read, I highly recommend it as a book for people who like to learn interesting things in an interesting way

The dictionary widget on my computer traces the origin of the word "fiddle" in all senses to Latin "vitulari" - "celebrate a festival, be joyful". Perhaps someone originally said that Nero was celebrating a festival at Antium while Rome burned (neutral or positive, if he hurried back to oversee the firefighting, relief and rebuilding) or that he was joyful while Rome burned (negative). pisirme Oyunları

Hey JF,
I’m too lazy to read all 127 posts above and ill probably repeat…You should read “Encyclopédie du Savoir Relatif et Absolu” by Bernard Werber.The guy who wrote the “fourmis” trilodgy, and also “les thanatonautes”.
Cheers!!

the bathroom reader by uncle johns is really convenient. the bathroom is a great classroom or study hall. I have quite eclectic taste (as you can see http://slimspickin.blogspot.com/) but there is so much to learn, how can anyone focus?

what about the seminal treatise on the rights of the individual that has undeniably formed the basis of the parliamentary system of government and the American model of personal and property rights? This would be John Locke’s First and Second Treatise on Government, followed by An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. This modern day revitalization of the School of Empiricism invigorated philosophical discussion among the best minds of the day and continues to do so. That has to be good for inquiring minds…either that or the Star Daily.
