Summary:
John Hodgman-bestselling writer, The Daily Show’s “Resident Expert”, minor tv superstar, and deranged millionaire-brings us the 3rd and last installment in his trilogy of Complete Globe Understanding. In 2005, Dutton published The Areas of My Knowledge, a handy small book of Complete World Knowledge, marked from the variation that all of the exciting trivia and amazing accurate facts were completely made up by its writer, John Hodgman. At the time, Hodgman was only a former about That Is normally All literary agent and occasional scribbler of artificial trivia. In short: a no one.
But during an interview within the Daily Display with Jon Stewart, an unbelievable transformation occurred. He became a well-known minor television character. You may ask: During his whirlwind tornado trip through the high ether of minimal fame and outrageous fortune, did John Hodgman forget how exactly to write books of artificial trivia? The answer is normally: Yes. Briefly. But shortly, he remembered!
Therefore he returned, crashing his Kansas farmhouse down upon the wicked witch of ignorance with an increase of Details Than You Require, a New York Instances bestseller containing a lot more mesmerizing and necessary fake trivia, including seven-hundred mole-man names (and their occupations).
And now, John Hodgman completes his eyesight with That Is All, the last book inside a trilogy of Complete Globe Knowledge. Like its predecessors, THAT’S All compiles extremely handy made-up details into brief content, overlong lists, and beguiling narratives on brand-new and familiar designs. It picks up exactly where Even more Information left off-specifically, at page 596-and finally completes Full WORLD KNOWLEDGE, simply with time for the return of Quetzalcoatl and the finish of history in 2012.
