Hodgepodge Two: Another Commonplace Book

Description for HODGEPODGE TWO: ANOTHER COMMONPLACE BOOK by J Bryan, III:

When HODGEPODGE was published in 1986, "Time" magazine said, "the covers of this one are too close together." To remedy that, J Bryan, III has gone back to his limitless collection of surprising and hilarious facts, quotations, and observations; from this storehouse, Mr. Bryan has culled a second book filled with arcane information guaranteed to delight and amuse (and provide the reader with an endless supply of fascinating dinner party conversation).

With subjects ranging from Absentmindedness to Weird Wager, and including Babies, Barroom Bets, The cruel Critics, Death (Strange and Violent), Longevity, Prophets Without Honor, and Typos and Blemishes, Mr. Bryan has again assembled a book that, like HODGEPODGE, is "recommended for dipping into when spirits need a boost" ("Kirkus Reviews")
