    Fun for the curious soul
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 16, 2018*

I've been listening to the podcast lately, so I bought the book. I feel like I'm communing with a kindred spirit. The book is a collection of short sketches  about curious things that actually happened. Sometimes it's just that they happened in the past and illustrate the maxim "The past is a foreign country"  Other times they are just plain weird in any context,  What they have in common is they are very interesting.  I actually like the podcasts better, as he goes into more background than the book can contain. Any way, buy, listen, and enjoy.

    Awesome and Addictive
  

*by P***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 16, 2013*

Reading the entries in "Futility Closet" is like eating a bag of sweets. You keep telling yourself, "Okay, one more and I'll stop." Before you know it, that "one more" has turned into a couple dozen more.The real charm to the book isn't just in how clever and fascinating each entry is, it's the fact that you never know what the next entry will be about. A historical oddity will be followed by strange scientific fact, which will then be followed by a mind-bending riddle, which will be followed by a bizarre excerpt from a 19th Century newspaper article.It's a great, fun read that will never leave you bored. I highly recommend it!

    TRIVIA LOVERS TREASURE
  

*by S***X on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2014*

For those of you out there whose entire reason for living is to collect all of the useless information available, this book is for you. No, actually it will also prepare you for a stint on Jeopardy if you so wish, however, I have found my spouse has grown quite tired of me having an esoteric blurb of information about any topic he brings up.
