1.I Used to Know That: Stuff You Forgot from School by: Caroline Taggart May 22, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £4.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.00
This book is split into chapters based on the traditional school subjects, such as geography, history, maths, and then within each chapter split into 'typical things we were taught', ranging from the list of British kings to trigonometry to Charles Dickens. There are certain chapters you'll skip, either because they were your specialist subject at university or because you're still not interested years later. But there are chapters you'll definitely be saying "I used to know that!" for. It doesn't take very long to read the entire book, but that's only half the usefulness, because my copy will be taking a prominent place on my shelf- because next time anything that relates to these subjects comes up, I'll remember ...

There are some fantastic trivia references here and the whole book is put together in a nice fun and easy going way. Great QI: The Book of General Ignorance

I really enjoyed reading this book and found it more than "Quite Interesting". Unfortunately though, if you are an avid fan of the television series like I am it offers nothing new. Most, if not all, of the material is taken from the series.

4.I Before E (Except After C): Old-School Ways to Remember Stuff by: Judy Parkinson August 09, 2007

This is a little gem of a book; I bought it thinking it would give me helpful ways of knowing and remembering more about grammar - but it's so much more than this. The whole book is about mnemonics and rhymes as memory aids, grouped into 17 themed categories as listed in the contents page, which is viewable on the 'Search Inside' feature. This book is ideal for flicking open and dipping into whatever page it lands on as it not only cites fascinating facts/trivia it also provides the means for remembering them! To give a flavour of the diversity of information in this book, here's a rhyme which caught my attention (I hope the information's accurate!) on what's good to choose for firewood: Beech ...

5.Tricks of the Mind by: Derren Brown October 08, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.75 You Save: £3.24 (41%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.74
The book is a humourous introduction to a diverse range of subjects - magic, memory, hypnosis, suggestibility, spotting lies, cognitive illusions, religion, scepticism and the paranormal. Some sections were witty and extremely informative - magic and memory stand out in my mind - other sections can be dry and humourless. The book as a whole is certainly worth reading particularly if you're interested in Brown's areas of expertise as a performer. The downside to the book is that Brown frequently rants about the importance of science and scepticism particularly in relation to his past life as a Christian. Despite this he seems to blindly accept the views of anyone he considers a supporter of science. Statistics about being more likely to ... Read More:

Gus is probably the most fascinating poker star to watch in action. I heard him quoted once as saying that for many of the poker theory books around, if you wrote a book advising the opposite it would be a better book! Given this, his consistent success, and knowing that he is a good mathematician, I was hoping that he would put his ideas in writing. This lived up to my expectations in terms of understanding his approach - he writes well and very clearly, including exhaustive analysis for a number of key hands. However, it is also hugely entertaining. He has a likeable, modest writing style, and is not afraid to make fun of himself, or admit when he made mistakes and got lucky. His style depends on world class reading abilities and also on his ... Read More:

8.The Dangerous Book for Boys by: Conn Iggulden, Hal Iggulden June 05, 2006

As the cliche goes: I sooo wish I'd had this book as a kid. Nearly everything inside could be found with 5 minutes determined google searching, but it is the lucidity and compiling that makes this book so compelling. Somehow it makes you feel invigourated reading it - you feel that it is entirely possible to do all the things listed and be a swiss army man or stg. The one weakness (if it has a weakness) that this book has is that it does have an ever so slightly condescending tone. However, given the tone of the many inferior versions (eg the 'How to be best at everything...' series - as if they are), this book is remarkably down to earth. So, what are you waiting for? If you've got this far then you clearly spend too much time on t'internet rather than ... Read More:

This is a well produced and attractive book but apart from some of the maps it tells you nothing about the game.
