The Book: Can a Guy Get Pregnant?: Scientific Answers to Everyday (and Not-So-Everyday) Questions – Bill Sones, Rich Sones
The Hook: Intriguing & outlandish questions about little-known facts (or myths).
The Thoughts: I love trivia. I really do. And more than anything, I love learning about the cross-sections of society and culture that I wouldn’t normally run across. To be able to find an easy-to-digest collection of across-the-board, specialized questions and answers is nothing short of delightful to me. So when I heard about this book (don’t recall how….), I knew it was for me.
With questions like “Do blind people see in their dreams?” and “Why do so many couples get divorced?” (simple mathematics) and “What’s the strongest material made by an animal?” are all intriguing gems. Wow, am I lovin’ this book! Not only is it entertaining and educating, but it’s very well-designed as well. Each question and answer takes up one page and one page only, making this the ideal “pick-me-up” book for when you don’t want to waste time sitting in line. (Or, in my case, working out on the treadmill or stationary bike at the gym…)
Great book, highly recommended. I can’t wait for another like it!
