I read this book, and I have to say, it was very entertaining.

What's different than what? I had apparently gotten this book when it was free on Amazon and forgot, because I just got the epub from B&N and found I already had it as a mobi.
By the way, I notice that this book, and many like it, such as the Dictionary of Misinformation, IIRC, don't cite any sources. Why should I believe what these books say over what I'd been taught? Huh? Huh? Why? Huh? ApK |

The one that was free on Amazon is Stupid American History, and the free one at B&N is Stupid History (with international stories). Two different books. Stupid American History is $7.99 on B&N.

The author writes with a bit of a conservative slant, so if you're sensitive to that, you should be aware of it going in, but it's a funny book, nonetheless.

Ah, I see, today's B&N link should have been added to THIS OTHER THREAD instead. I'll post Little Bear's link there. I knew definitely had it free from Amazon in the past. Now I'm sorry I missed the American one. ApK Last edited by ApK; 06-10-2011 at 02:22 PM. |
