Book Reviews of Mental Floss Presents Condensed Knowledge: A Deliciously Irreverent Guide to Feeling Smart Again
Book Review: Laura Reviews: Mental Floss Presents Condensed Knowledge
Summary: 4 Stars
As I get older, my brain gets mushier. It was high time I brushed up on something to stay useful in this world.
I'd be lying if I said that Mental Floss' Condensed Knowledge is a veritable encyclopedia.
It's even better.
In summary, it lists 15 categories of information (from performing arts to geography to economics), that include short summaries of accurate knowledge in a flippant tone.
But don't just leave it on the coffee table. Pick it up and read something new once a day. Invite friends over and quiz each other. Or if you have no friends, you can quiz yourself.

Who else is going to tell you about 3 Major Mistakes on Your World Map, or which 5 Literary Classics Were Written Under the Influence, or which Nobel Prize Should Never Been Awarded, or what the 4 Things Einstein Got Wrong are?Brush over the titles, flip through the pages, ease into a paragraph of your choice. And an hour later, when your kids are tugging at your pant legs and your spouse is burning dinner, and you're busy wondering just where the time went, you'll realize that learning isn't just easy, it's addictive.
