Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-08 00:00:00 Michelle Wright I obtained this book and shipped it all the way out to a hot, dry, sandy Middle Eastern land which shall remain nameless because my boyfriend is maniacally protective of OPSEC, even when the OP is concluded and he's been home for several months (thankfully without PTSD...so far.) I won't even tell you which branch of the military he's in, except to say that it's the branch of the military that nobody ever remembers when discussing branches of the military, and to tell you that its official motto rhymes, appropriately, with "someone forgot us." Yes, those guys. Yes, they do deploy. For a really long time. All of this has nothing to do with John Hodgman's second hilarious book of false facts, except that it is noteworthy that this book, of all the books I sent him over nearly a year (and I sent a lot), was the only one to return home with him. The rest stayed behind in the base library for other service members to enjoy, but my boyfriend loved this book too much to part with it, or even to loan it to his shipmates...I mean...airplane-tank-humvee-helicopter-troop-predatorydrone-ship-mates. There. Covered my tracks. OPSEC is preserved once again, God bless America! As I had already read Hodgman's first hilarious book, The Areas of My Expertise, and thoroughly enjoyed it, I decided I had to read this one for myself, once I was able to pry it from Boyfriend's hands. More Information Than You Require lives up admirably to the initial offering, bringing yet more subtle, intelligent humor in the form of strange false facts that are so odd they just might be plausible. Hodgman is clearly a very smart fellow, as only a highly observant, fertile mind could observe the native weirdness of actual history, politics, and modern culture and concoct so many "factoids" that feel so dead-on. The book is a brainy skewering of the real world by means of examination of an unreal world, skillfully crafted for you by John Hodgman, one of the funniest guys ever. I recommend it to people who appreciate nerdy, smart humor, and I also recommend Hodgman's podcast, Judge John Hodgman, for a weekly dose of hilarious smarts. Enjoy!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-10 00:00:00 David Muterspaugh A REVIEW, comprising two LISTS (one True and one False), of John Hodgman's More Information than You Require. List the first: 1. It has nothing but kind things to say about modern-day troubador and Internet sensation Jonathan Coulton. 2. Pages 296-299 are actually made from pressed prosciutto (in hardback; domestic bacon was used for the paperback edition, and the audiobook contains merely a bacon-scented backscratcher). 3. Every copy of said hardback edition comes packaged with a hollowed-out boar's tusk, filled with the bright-red husks of the cochineal beetle, which may be used in lieu of blood for signing official contracts with Satan or his emissaries. 4. Hodgman himself will read it to you happily in its entirety, if you should run across him in your local supermarket or organic electronics store and ask him politely using the secret code word on Page 316. 5. Hodgman's photograph is a hologram, one layer of which contains a steganographic copy of the entire book encoded as a moiré pattern on Hodgman's suit, including the author photograph, one layer of which contains a moiré-encoded copy of the entire book... this recursive encoding causes a warping of space and time that has swallowed up several chain bookstores and at least one independent (but not Powell's). List the 2nd: 1. It is wildly funny, with at least one chuckle on every page. 2. It uses frequent EMPHASIS in the form of CAPITALIZATION and italics. 3. It is a direct continuation of The Areas of My Expertise, with ongoing pagination and numbering of figures and tables. 4. It has heavily influenced the format of this review. 5. The determination of which list is TRUE and which FALSE has been left as an EXERCISE for the READER. THAT IS ALL
