The Awful Truths

Mildly amusing, but definitely not hilarious. Some interesting entries but a bit too heavy on the US sports for me. I don't usually skip parts of books but I couldn't be bothered to read those parts! Liked the short lists of truths such as the original names for novels and pen names of famous authors, but I didn't like no footnotes or bibliography. I think maybe it's a US thing, but it drives me nuts particularly in the case of history books and books covering political areas where there is inevitably a bias. Reveal your sources, it might be more work but it makes your book more credible!
