If you are a list fanatic, and
who isn't these days, this book is for you. I have never seen such an
authoritative compilation of lists and commentary, and of course I am a list
fanatic myself, so I have seen many. The author is in a privileged position to
write the book and compile all those lists. Maximillien de Lafayette has
traveled through forty-six countries (and claims that he has been thrown out of
many of them for various reasons that shall remain shrouded in mystery; perhaps
some day we can expect a list?). He is fluent in seven languages, and the author
of numerous books. His interest and accomplishments in various disciplines range
from classical and abstract art to international law, with writing dramas and
plays, ancient civilizations, entertainment, music, customs, cultures, animals,
and psychology in between. But the lists are not generated solely by Mr. De
Lafayette. They are a prism of global opinions, scholarly research, essays,
polls, and surveys, by the world media and various journalists, as well as the
general public. The commentaries are all by the author, though, and they are
priceless - opinionated as his work always is, intelligent, and sparkling with
wit.

The
Ultimate Book of World Lists: The best and worst people, ideas, talents and
accomplishments of our time (2 Volumes, 1,480 pages) by Maximillien de
Lafayette.
Unusual, explosive and the largest of its kind! Thousands of names and hundreds
of lists from the United States and around the world in 300 fields. An unusual
and completely different approach to lists of all lists. A massive 1,480 pages
in 2 volumes. It includes the most inconceivable, unimaginable, and multi-varied
choice of lists of people, ideas and events. Lists nobody ever thought about or
tried to compile.
Large lists, ranging from people who are screwing up America, the best and worst
politicians and leaders, the most outrageous celebrities, to hilarious lists
such the dumbest celebrities, stars and politicians' quotes and behaviors, list
of full-of-themselves famous people, the most hated and not to be trusted
officials, femmes fatales, best pick-up joints, most influential people,
scandalous online Instant Messages from politicians to their lovers, and
powerful tycoons who are changing the course of our lives, every day! However,
the book remains authoritative in substance, since extensive biographies of the
brightest minds and geniuses of our time are amply provided. The book contains
an international poll/survey conducted in 123 countries, on percentage of people
(in the United States and around the globe) who love and hate their boss,
couples talking during intercourse, women showing cleavage, tele-evangelists,
Clinton, Nixon, Bush, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Oprah, Christians, Muslims, and
Jews. It contains an amazing array of topics and statistics. On one hand it is
academically authoritative and informative, and on the other hand, shocking and
explosive. Nevertheless, it provides an honest picture of the world we live in,
and of those who are shaping our lives. It is the largest book of its kind,
containing the most lists ever published.
