. QI: The Pocket Book of General Ignorance
by: QI, John Lloyd, John Mitchinson
April 03, 2008
The thesis of this book is that much of our `common sense' knowledge is made up of micro-myths, and most of these myths are mistaken. This is quite radical, if you think of it. If so much of the trivia of everyday knowledge is wrong, how much else of what we know for true is false? Maybe that's the appeal of such books, and this is a particularly good one with lots of random factoids I'd never read before, presented in a racy, engaging style. On the other hand it may all be a sad lad obsession (all the authors are male), appealing to the inner Mr Logic in us blokes. Chicken Tikka Massala was invented in Glasgow, Nelson never wore an eye-patch, we are only 60 miles from outer space (upwards), why biros are called bics in France...as my girlfriend kept ...

. The Deeper Meaning of Liff
by: Douglas Adams, John Lloyd
October 23, 1992
This is an excellent little humourous dictionary of things that don't actually have names, but really should (like those corrugated bits of flesh you get round your ankles from wearing too-tight socks). Good fun, and Douglas Adams fans will find lots of great jokes within, just be aware that by it's very nature this is the sort of book you'll pull off of the shelf and randomly flick through for 5 minutes from time to time, rather than something you'll sit down and read from cover to cover. Great fun, but admittedly slight, even in it's expanded form.

. The Rough Guide to Spain (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
by: Simon Baskett, Jules Brown, Mark Ellingham, Geoff Garvey, Graham Kenyon, Marc S. Dubin, Phil Lee, John Fisher, Chris Lloyd, Iain Stewart
February 01, 2007
The Rough Guides rarely disappoint. They are thorough and interesting. My only complaint is that Murcia, as usual in guidebooks like this, just doesn't get the treatment it deserves. I always buy the most recent edition, but suggest you can probably skip an edition now and then!

. The Meaning of Liff
by: Douglas Adams, John Lloyd
November 11, 1983
In `The Meaning of Liff' Douglas Adams and John Lloyd have expanded the English language by noting down the meaningless names that lie underused on signpost and attribute new purpose to them covering the common experiences we have yet to assign a word to.
Depford(n).
The Disappointment one feels when our favourite author puts out a book not worthy of their name.
Twinning(n).
The nagging sensation the reader feels that he has been swindled out of five pounds that would have been better served giving to a barmaid in return for a couple of pints of beer or indeed burning.
Lepton(n).
The disconcerting feeling that some people will love the said book and Leap-Upon any critic daring to say it's rubbish.
