About this audiobook
We were helping a friend study for the contestant quiz of the Jeopardy! Game show when we realized we had accumulated enough material to help out almost anyone. A student, game show contestant, or curious reader. And it's all formatted in a quick and easy way that game show watchers enjoy.
You'll love the diversity of this little study guide! It covers the most famous books, authors, poems (and nursery rhymes) of all time. From Aeschylus to Zane Grey, from the Iliad to Peter Pan, and from Hester Prynne to James Bond.
See if you can answer these:
- Who said, "To thine own self be true," and "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"?
- Why did Hester Prynne wear the scarlet letter in Nathaniel Hawthorne's book?
- What is Homer famous for?
- In The Divine Comedy, who served as guide in the Inferno?
- In which Dickens novel is young Pip introduced to decaying old Miss Havisham?
- Who created Frankenstein (in a literary sense)?
- According to T.S. Elliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, who's not there?
The KNOWLEDGE BLASTER! Series compresses a great mountain of available information into easily digestible morsels. You'll find the books are patterned in an efficient question-and-answer mode, stressing simplicity, brevity, and clarity.
You can use this reference work as a launch pad to propel yourself into more in-depth studies. However, if you find this little study guide provides all the information you need, then consider your knowledge...
Blasted!
We wish you the best of luck in your quest for knowledge in this fascinating subject. 'Bye now.
And, oh yes, buy now!

Yucca Road Productions started as all great enterprises do... having a cup of coffee with friends at the kitchen table. One of our little gang of misfits had decided he was destined to appear on the Jeopardy! game show. The rest of us were foolhardy enough to volunteer our surprisingly diverse knowledge sets for the task of preparing him for said destiny.A couple years later, we had accumulated so much info, it was nuts. After deleting what we decided was "trivia" in the game show's dozen or so most-used categories, we figured we could teach anybody to do well on a game show. Or an exam. Or trivia night at the neighborhood pub. Oh, yes... we nailed that one.And so, the Knowledge Blaster! series was conceived and delivered!Then Terry Marsh wrote a couple novels and approached us about getting them published. We liked the books. So, after coercing him into buying bagels for everybody, we added him to our list of ne'er-do-wells.Then Leo Moss surprised us with a book of more-or-less poetry and a novel about a reluctant magic man. We added his works to the list, too. We had to. Moss is the only guy in the group who can spell without a dictionary (so we made him editor), and we just can't find anybody else who will work for the "prestige" of it. Just kidding, Leo.So, time passes, as is its habit. We're still at the kitchen table, wondering what might happen next. We hope it involves pizza, but you never know.
