Uncle John's Perpetually Pleasing Bathroom Reader (Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Annual)

Was sent to my Son who enjoys the information on these books. Says thetes lots of different things to cash up on.

I've read all the regular UJBR books and some were stinkers and some were great. This is just below great, but is better than the 25th version. Interesting phallic cover art with the two P's and something dangling down from between them that resembles....um....well, you know. I'm sure that was on purpose and not meant to be caught by just everybody....subliminal...someone with a dirty mind? It wouldn't have been my choice for cover art. Overall, worth getting, especially since the cover isn't that shabby thing that was on the 25th that fell apart, warped and otherwise ruined a good read.

Are you the person in your group who's always popping up with interesting odd facts, the story behind the story, the origins of words and phrases--you know, the cool sort of conversational tidbits that make your friends roll their eyes in awe as they ask "Why would you know that"? Then this is the series for you!Whether you've got a free evening to curl up with some good reading or just a few minutes, then this book (and the rest of the series) is perfect. I always download a new one for when I travel because they're interesting and great for getting you through the long wait time at the airport but don't require so much concentration that you miss them announcing your flight.

My book actually showed up a day early and was as described. Well Done!

I have several of these and I have enjoyed reading every one of them, including this one.

Another in the long running series from Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, the Perpetually Pleasing edition lives up to it's name. I found it packed with all sorts of amusing trivia, funny stories, and just a dash of actual educational material. I pick up the new volume each year when they come out, and I wasn't disappointed by this year's offering. It's worth noting that there was some slightly darker content (and slightly more "dirty" comments) than previous volumes, but I'd still say it's a fair read for all but the youngest members of the family.

I've been rereading the same Bathroom Reader from 2002 for years now. It was a much bigger volume, but I wanted to try the more modern things. It's surprisingly current and no less humorous than before. It might be a fraction of the size of the older volumes, but it's also a lower price and the quality did not drop at all. Make sure to read the fun facts at the bottom of each page, that's half the fun! And resist the urge to read it like a normal book. Just put it on the back of the toilet and it will last months. I no longer fiddle with my smartphone in my bathroom at home, that says something.

I have all The Readers starting with the first given to me as a gift. Always informative and an easy read.The book came in two days and was appreciated.Fortunatly I was home when nit arrived by FED EX and was happy to see the book was in good condition because the packing was below par. No padding or waterproof sleeve and a loose unsealed end on the sloppy fitting cardboard container ( if you can call it that). allowed the book to rattle around inside. Once again, I'm glad the book arrived in good condition but the senders packing certainly needs to be improved.

A book which is full of things you do not need to know but find you must read about them away.As its name suggests it stays in the library sorry bathroom.Now I spend nearly as much time in there as the female members of the familyA fun book you can dip into for small interesting titbits of usless information; until you go to a silly quiz!

Uncle John's books never cease to surprise. There really is something new on every single page and although it's always USA-centric there's plenty of material for the rest of the world to wallow in.Trivia and its engaging best!

If a birthday or christmas was to pass and my husband did not receive a Bathroom Reader for the throne room, it just wouldn't be the same. I love learning useful facts being read out loud. Thank you bathroom reader for making me think how, what and who on earth did that. What where they thinking

Excellent book as per normal for this series. The books by this company are almost the only non-fiction I read. I find this series an easy enjoyable way to waste time at a customer while waiting to be loaded/unloaded (I am a truck driver) and also at the Canada/USA border.
