The Book of General Ignorance by John Lloyd
and John Mitchinson "Everything you think you know is wrong!" is the watchword of this entertaining romp through misconception and second-hand knowledge. If you've seen the BBC programme QI, you know exactly what to expect and reading it you can almost imagine Stephen Fry's voice floating through your head. As a result you're willing to believe almost anything, although I had some problems with definitions, rather than facts, but that just kept me sharp and on the lookout!
