4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Truly trivia you can’t live without, Random Obsessions is filled with facts, lists, definitions, and astonishing information guaranteed to provide you with the best cocktail conversation for many years to come!They are filled with unusual bits of info you won’t find in any other tour guide books. Even though it does give locations, it's not really a guide book as much as a book filled with fun, scary, bizarre, curious areas of every region of this country.Simply put this is just another amazing collection of unbelievable but (mostly true) tales of weird people, places and thing found all around the country. Immensely entertaining, provocative, awe inspiring and sometimes just downright creepy. A must for anyone interested in the unusual.
