Merde: Excursions in Scientific, Cultural, and Socio-Historical Coprology 9 reviews Ralph A. Lewin
Random House, 1999
The adult version of "Everyone Poops"
+ Most informative book I've seen on the subject + Unusual historical survey & essay re excrement
"For some reason, among the most fragrant coffees of Java are reputed to be those made by roasting beans that have passed through the intestinal tracts of civets."
How could anyone possibly object to a book that disseminates facts such as the above as freely as certain birds disseminate seeds in ...

Brewer's Rogues, Villains & Eccentrics 1 review William Donaldson, Willie Donaldson
Cassell, 2002
Nobody does "eccentrics" like the Brits!!
Everything you never knew that you wanted to know about the oddballs, rogues, cads, scoundrels, footpads, and other non-conformists who made the "Sceptered Isle" what it is (and was). I got this book since I really enjoyed "The Henry Root Letters" and "Root Into Europe". Our old friend the 5th Duke ...

Enslaved by Ducks 64 reviews Bob Tarte
Algonquin Books, 2004
Be ye hereby warned!
+ enchanting! + A Fun Read for Pet Lovers of All Kinds.
In this humorous book, Bob Tarte plumbs the depths of the abyss into which my wife periodically threatens to tip us. The delightfully self defeating efforts to control animal acquisition in the face of pets, each possessing more personality than a classroom full of teenagers, resonated with the ...

Little Treasury of Limericks Fair and Foul 2 reviews
Macmillan, 1973
The limerick packs laughs anatomical

...Into space that is quite economical. But the good ones I've seen so seldom are clean, and the clean ones so seldom are comical (to slightly paraphrase John Letts, the compiler of this Treasury).
The literate, English-speaking world seems to be divided into two groups: those who love ...
