Here is a trivia book with a twist. Rather than a collection of obscure facts, this book is a collection of common fallacies. Give it a read. You may be stunned to discover that you have been wrong about something you have been very confident was right. For example: neither the United States Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence contains the statement that all men are created equal; India ink is from China, not India; a sardine is not a specific living fish - it is anything you get out of a sardine can (which will likely be young herring or pilchard). The book is loosely organized by subject in chapters labeled A to Z. This allows you to find logical places at which to set the book aside between readings.
