This review is from: Uncle John's Heavy Duty Bathroom Reader (Paperback)
23rd edition, and the 4th Uncle Johns' book I've goen through.Being unable to stomach reading fiction, these are excellent for quick or not-so quick toilet visits. 500+ pages, lots of weird/funny/interesting/useless stories and facts throughout. Almsot to the end, so I'll ahve to grab another.

Uncle John's Latest and Greatest!,
By Michael OConnor "Wordsmith" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Uncle John's Heavy Duty Bathroom Reader (Paperback)
In some respects, the word "Heavy" in the title of this 23rd Edition of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader might refer to the hefty nature of the book. UNCLE JOHN'S HEAVY DUTY BATHROOM READER clocks in at 538 pages; that's almost two pounds of book! More importantly, it's stuffed full of the interesting, oddball, "didn't-know-that" info that Uncle John readers relish.In terms of format, why mess with a winner? Edition 23 has the same mix of quick reads, two-three page articles, longer pieces and "extended" articles that have made the Bathroom Readers so successful. In this case, Uncle John enlightens readers on the following: famous food origins; final concerts of famous performers; a three-parter on smart birds; funny church board messages; 185 uses for a pig; bathroom-themed art; famous gangster couples; food dinosaurs ate; people you thought were Americans but aren't; a three-parter on Esperanto; popular myths; "Monopoly" game facts; forgotten cartoon characters (think "Chilly Willy," etc.); phobias of the rich and famous; products that flopped; fatal first flights; weird fish stories; good deeds done by celebs; and - my favorite - a four-parter on explorers "who strode bravely into the face of the unknown and never came back"...and much, much more. In short, you're sure to find something interesting in UNCLE JOHN'S HEAVY DUTY BATHROOM READER. So, a big thumb's-up to Edition 23! ********** 2,600 Helpful Votes! 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Uncle John's Heavy Duty Bathroom Reader (Paperback)
What more can be said of a book that is in its 23rd edition and keeps on getting better! This series is so entertaining and delightful that even its great length, almost 500 pages, hardly seems a bother. The various stories are so entertaining they stagger the imagination. The anthrax story is very interesting as is the one dispelling various conspiracy theories.If you enjoy being entertained and maybe learning something in the process than this book is for you! 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful
