Reviews
Onion Book of Knowledge
5By Alfred Nobel, Jr. IIII haven't encountered so much dubious scholarship and outright plagiarism since Doris Kearns Goodwin's 5 volume "History of Table Tennis in the Antebellum South, 1493 - 1861." But hey, it beats Wikiipedia, right?Significant procrastination
5By Bessy BishopI might buy this book if I thought I might not have to read it. Maybe it's a coloring book with big lines that I could perchance, sometimes, try to stay inside of. Or not. I would also probably buy it if it described the meaning, or lack of, of life. Yep, Nahhh. Maybe? Oh look, a squirrel.The Onion Book of Known Knowledge
3By BeldarCI just came here to get a free sample of this book. I pride myself on reading all the samples and never ordering a full edition of anything. There is a slim chance I may actually buy something one day but the freebie preview would have to be at least 70 pages and very impressive. This Onion thing has piqued my interest and has possibility but lets see some of the goods first.I Love Books I've Never Read
5By Jeff WeilerAs I write this, before this book is released, I can say its likely the best book I have never read. I have pre-ordered so that I can either read the book and change my opinion, or just outright ignore the book. Either way, I'm sure I will be more ignorant.
