Le cose che non sappiamo

I gave this book 4 🌟 because I found that some topics that I read had completely gone in one ear and out of the other. I also found that some topics were just dragging on and there were no real answer to it, the topic was being talked about but not in a way that you’d think that topic was being talk Leggi tutto

This is a nice book which has a long list of unknowns. However, it does not delve into an of those in detail - each of the topics gets about 1/2 to 3/4 of a page. There are many mysteries I doubt any one will care about such as people's hair, colour etc. It seems that the list is pushed to get to 50 Leggi tutto

This is just delightful. You know how “they” always say the more you know, the more you know that you don’t know?

So, perhaps we now don't know a little less than when this was published, or maybe through knowing those things, we've now discover Leggi tutto

This was an interesting book to read in short bursts. None of the questions had very in depth answers, but they did prompt me to want to learn more about a few different topics.

It's fun to read about life's mysteries, it is even better when those mysteries are ridiculously mundane. The Things That Nobody Knows is packed with these kind of mysteries and a fun and compact read because of it. The only downside is that it feels slightly outdated already! 3 Stars, fun as a side- Leggi tutto

It was quite good but the beginning was a bit boring.
