Wild Wild World This was a little break from my usual mysteries. Random trivia, served with no particular purpose in particular order. It was just begging for me to snuggle up to it. I was not sorry I did! Really fun book, covering everything from crime, science, humor to nauseating, queasy and squeamish. Great fun to read, even kids would enjoy it.
