    Synopsis

    The bestselling author of The Areas of My Expertise- also known as The Daily Show's "Resident Expert" and the PC in the iconic Mac ads-picks up exactly where his first book left off. Exactly.

    Like its predecessor, MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE compiles incredibly handy made up facts into brief articles, overlong lists, frighteningly complex charts, and beguiling narratives on new and familiar themes such as:
    THE PAST (because there is always more)
    THE FUTURE (because they say there is still some left to discuss)
    THE METHOD BY WHICH WE "ELECT" OUR PRESIDENTS (as this will be happening soon)
    THE STRANGE OKAPI (an actual animal) GAMBLING: THE SPORT OF THE ASTHMATIC MAN (includes hermit crab racing)
    HOW TO BE A FAMOUS MINOR TELEVISION PERSONALITY (hint: go on television)
    PLUS: 700 MOLE-MAN NAMES (and their occupations)

    Yes. HODGMAN MAY HAVE BEEN BRIEFLY ABSENT FROM YOUR LIFE, but with this volume he is ready to pick up exactly where THE AREAS OF MY EXPERTISE left off-specifically AT PAGE 237.

    October 23, 2008: Hysterically funny and great for a quick laugh when you don't have time to hunker down during a busy day. I don't know how John Hodgman comes up with these things but I hope he keeps at it. A few topics were a little obscure for me but it didn't matter. Those were actually intellectually stimulating and there's plenty of other good stuff that makes it well-worth the price. That is all.
