Trivia Junkies, REJOICE!Jul 08, 2009 I am a GREAT LOVER of trivia books and it's difficult to find them that are not geared for youngsters or in just a "picture" format. The Armchair reader picks up where the "People's Almanac" and "Book of Lists" left off. Fun info on everything from notorious killers to unique foods to play on language. Both my hubby and 16 year old son loved this book. I'm ordering another title to take on our flight to England. It's one of those things you can "dip into" whenever you want!
