When did the nation start to go downhill in terms of literature? Many good books are still published, but all the stupid shit is what sell really well.
I just bought Uncle John's Bathroom Reader: The Audiobook Volume 1, a few hours ago and I can't wait to start listening to what "useful" information their is to see.
Good for you for spreading the word on Uncle John's BRI. I have 18 issues myself and continue to add a new one after I finish the previous one. Also a Dj of 15 years, I find the info invaluable. KUDOS!
So many I have yet to read, I'm only on my 5th one now. School library had a few so I'm getting some from there (although I don`t know how clean they are given the nature of the book.)
This is my new favorite video on YouTube x3 I've loved Bathroom Readers since the moment I got my first book (for free, by the way), so it's cool to see someone else who's as into it as I am.
These books are utterly amazing. Perfect for the trivia buff or someone who loves books that are jammed packed with knowledge. The randomness of these books make them fun and useful. Great video!
Haha, awesome. I remember my first (and only so far) Uncle John's book was "Did you know...?" which REALLY intrested me, as I was addicted to facts, I was sad when I lost it, but I'll probably get a new one. Also, Did You Know...? inspired me to make my own, hand written, personal fact book, written on 5 1/2 x 3 /12 inch paper, which is currently 68 pages long! Congrats, Uncle Johns! And thanks for making my life better!
You are the most awesome person EVER! I have been collecting these books for my entire life. I have every one except for All-Purpose Extra Strength, it took the plunge of death into the toilet. That was a sad day. Great job with the running feet! I leave you with a message from John: "The average American consumes enough caffeine in a year to kill a horse" *20th anniversary book, page 504*
15,000 horn honks!!! Wow, I'm actually a pretty agressive driver and I've probably only honked mine while driving a couple hundred times, if that. On the other hand I honk my horn before I even start my van to scare away any cats that might be under it so I guess that counts too.
Former DJ... Quit to start my own production business in 2005... Although I still do a couple weekend shifts for a small local station just to keep my chops up.
I also collect them. Here's more trivia for you: Did you know that the Great Big Bathroom Reader (11th book) was originally published with an orange cover? But then they realized the cover was too similar to the 10th book, so to prevent confusion, they redesigned the cover, making it red and using a different font. But then people thought it was yet another book so they started buying that too, not realizing it was the same book. I have one of the orange-cover books. They're rare now.
