Jul. 17th, 2009 02:36 pmBook #57 -- John Hodgman, The Areas of My Expertise, 255 pages.
This claims to be a complete almanac of all world knowledge, not a word of which is actually true. It is actually full of small blurbs, lists, articles, and charts on such fascinating topics as 700 Hobo Names, a brief time line of the lobster in America, jokes that have never produced laughter, and How to Write a Book: the fifty-five dramatic situations. This works best as a bathroom-reading book or something else to take in short bits, as reading too much in a row dulls the jokes. It is quite funny though.
Progress toward goals: 198/365 = 54.2%
Books: 57/100 = 57.0%
Pages: 14383/30000 = 47.9%
