  • John Steinbeck had to rewrite Of Mice and Men because his dog ate the first draft?

  • Wayne Newton is a descendant of Pocahontas?

  • Oscars given out during World War II were made of wood because metal was in short supply?

  • Brooke Shields and Glenn Close are cousins?

  • Diet Coke was invented in 1982. However, in 1379, a Mr. and Mrs. Coke of Yorkshire, England, named their daughter “Diot” (a diminutive of Dionisia, the predecessor of the modern-day name Denise)?

  • Male monkeys go bald in much the same way that men do?

  • James Gandolfini was voted Best Looking by his high school class?

    See, these are the sort of books that I simply adore. Neither one of them were actually "little" except that they were somewhat shorter than regular hard back books. Both had 360+ pages, though, and were chock full of lists of interesting trivia. They reminded me a lot of the Book of Lists series from back in the 1970s, and covered a lot of the same sorts of things. People who dropped out of school, last words of famous people, men who were 7th sons of 7th sons (Glen Campbell and Perry Como, BTW), what famous people did during WWII, people who have/had a famous mother-in-law, this is the stuff I want to know about. LOL I thought these books were delightful. I had one or the other of them in the bathroom most of the month and when I finished them earlier this week, I went to put them on the shelf and the rest of my family asked me to leave them in there! LOL These both get a 5 for sure.
