À propos de cet audio
In the great tradition of the American almanac,
The Areas of My Expertise is a brilliant and hilarious compendium of handy reference tables, fascinating trivia, and sage wisdom on all topics large and small. Although best sellers such as Poor Richard's Almanack and The Book of Lists were certainly valuable, they also were largely true. Here is a different kind of handy desk reference, one in which all of the historical oddities and amazing true facts are sifted through the singular, illuminating imagination of John Hodgman, which is the nice way of saying: He made it all up.

"Wonderfully absurd." (The New York Times)
"Hilarious ... Nabokov's Pale Fire as directed by Wes Anderson." (Time Out New York)
"If Borges and Ben Franklin got drunk and decided to write a book together, the result might have been something a lot like this freaky 'almanac.'" (Tom Perrotta)
I know this is kind of nuts, but this series of books is the only one I have read multiple times. Every other book sucks after the first read. Not this one.
One of my favorite books

I've listened to this book 3 or 4 times already and I've bought it again here on Audible just to have it on hand wherever I am and so I can play it for whoever will listen.
Way more than just an Audiobook
