Odd Wisconsin: Amusing, Perplexing, and Unlikely Stories from Wisconsin's Past
Erika Janik

Wisconsin Historical Society Press, 2007

While Bob La Follette’s exploits as leader of progressive politics are legendary, his early morning exertions to save valuable government documents and executive department paintings during the disastrous 1904 capitol fire are largely unknownâ€”until now. Odd Wisconsin captures the Wisconsin people, places, and events that didn’t make it into conventional state histories, lowering a bucket into the depths of Wisconsin history and ...

303 Perplexing Chess Puzzles (Mensa)

Fred Wilson, Bruce Alberston

Sterling, 2004

An excellent tactics studybook
What makes this book (and others in the same series) different from most tactics / puzzle books, is the puzzles are arranged by difficulty not by tactical motif. In my opinion this makes much much more sense. There are three sets of problems, each containing 101. The first is for the Advanced Beginning, the second for the Intermediate Player, and the third for the Tournament Player. How to ...

It's Not Rocket Science . . . But It's Worth Reading
"Unsolved Mysteries of Science" is a well-written, interesting survey of twenty-one questions that continue to stump scientists. The book is pitched toward a reader who is not a scientist but who is curious and rational--no scientific formulas, no charts or graphs, and no UFOs or other pseudoscience. Malone gives each question its own chapter. He then offers some very helpful and clearly ...

A Perplexing Addiction, But Why?
Thomas Firth is a well known and usualy funny writer. He is known to many as a mulerider, or as I understand it, according to his wife a mule worrier! I have laughed at many of Mr Firths stories in Western Mule Magazine. I hope to again! Sadly this book did not live up to Mr Firths opinion of himself, but it does live up to his wifes opinion of him! His anecdotes were wordy and petered out to ...

As good as the rest
The latest book by Sloane (as of 6/15/97), it has some great puzzles and is just as good as all of his others. But be warned--these puzzles are really addicting! Fortunately, there are many books to purchase

this is great
i know these are not the original books. A life of faith changed them for good reasons. But some others may not agree. the originals # 14 and up are awful. This book was actually good with Violet's problems. She is trying to be rightous while having other people trying to ruin her good name. The characters are real and first of all, the violet books are a page turner. Their excellent. Like ...

You probably think you're a pretty smart person.
Perplexing Puzzles and Tantalizing Teasers will definitely test your wits and best of all, it'll test your common sense. You'll realize common sense is not so common after all! The book is also full of word games, visual games, conundrums, jokes, palindromes, and some real stumpers. I was given my first copy 18 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. The illustrations are great; and ...

Murder in the Mews: Three Perplexing Cases for Poirot (Mystery Masters Series)

Agatha Christie

Audio Partners, 2002

Well written by Christie, well read by Hawthorne and Fraser
It is a lucky coincidence that Audio Partners is issuing complete readings of the Hercule Poirot short stories and novels just after Acorn Media and A&E have finished releasing all of the David Suchet video versions. It is very instructive, especially to film majors, to compare the originals with the scripts. For example, the most recent Poirot collection appears on four CDs in Audio Partners ...

Sterling, 2003

Best Word Puzzle Book Ever.
This is not just another book of jumbles and word searches and x-word puzzles. The word in the title 'Perplexing' really describes this book. The puzzles are of different types, from my favorite type called 'Split Decision' where an x-word-like maze is presented showing 2 or 3 common letters shared by two words and the object of the puzzle is to determine the missing letters. There are 10 other ...

Vince Staten

Simon & Schuster, 2004

WHY IS THE FOUL POLE FAIR ?
I got an "advance uncorrected reader's proof copy from Simon & Schuster" a couple summers ago. I chuckled all the way through. My 13 year old is now chuckling as he reads each chapter. Also he gets extra credit in LA/Lit class for finding typos, etc. We live reasonably close to Louisville , KY and try to see as many Bats' games as possible each summer. Even before Staten's chapter about how ...
