253. Stupid History: Tales of Stupidity, Strangeness and Mythconceptions Throughout the Ages by Leland Gregory

BOOK REVIEW: Stupid History - Tales of Stupidity, Strangeness, and Mythconceptions Throughout the Ages by Leland Gregory

When the subject of history and facts surface, the common reaction towards it is....BORIIIIINNNNGGGG!!!! Not to my knowledge. History can be fun when double entendres and hilarious punchlines are added to make learning fun. This book is one such example.

Did you know that Benjamain Franklin didn't discover electricity but the Greeks found out much before him? What a shock (pun intended)! Many more astounding facts are shared in a light-hearted manner, from America's real first president and even who created an airplane with 9 wings (yes, 9 wings!!!). 

If you've always wanted a conversation piece or just someone who loves talking history and definitely lesrning about it, this book is definitely for you. Suitable for the young reader or the adult alike, history can now be categorized as enriching and most importantly FUN!
