I stumbled on The Straight Dope book in the 80s, and it's hard to describe how cool this was to read, pre-Internet. So much cool info in clever and hilarious format, I read it for hours and over and over. A big salute to Cecil Adams.
- GCA10 8y agoAgreed. Quora's grandfather.
- zantana 8y agoYes, I devoured trivia troves like the Straight Dope, the bathroom reader series and predecessors, which for me were the Book of Lists. It is funny to go back now and see ones which have obvious errors. They will always have a place in my heart, I'm tempted to pick up all the books now so I will have them to reminisce.
