This book has it all; all the
imaginable and possible lists! Thousands of names and hundreds of lists. From
the world's top 100 people, most influential persons in the United States, the
most beautiful women in America, to the best and worst books, politicians,
celebrities, music, novels, leaders, fashion and those who are screwing up
America today.
What caught my eyes are two sections; A survey on what Americans and people from
around the world love and hate most. The author, Maximillien de Lafayette who
wrote over 100 books, and visited so many countries gathered a fleet of
researchers to conduct a survey worldwide on the most important, funniest and
silliest things in our life. Almost one million people were interviewed. It is
so interesting to learn about the similarities and differences that exist
between people around the globe. The survey is magnetizing. It covers so many
territories ranging from "talking during intercourse" to "the greatest minds and
inventions of our time."
Other section on people who have shaped our world is astonishing, because it
appears -always according to book's survey - that stars and famous singers
managed to alter our way of life and how we function in our environment. The
author gives many examples. The book contains at least 300 extensive lists in
almost all the important fields. It is a huge book in 2 volumes. Each is around
740 pages. So much to learn about the world we live in, from this book. It is
like a huge encyclopedia but fun and hilarious. Don't think for a moment it is
gossipy. Not at all, it has lots of substance, in-depth articles and so much
information. The author has a great sense of humour. He is hilarious, yet so
deep and analytical. You will love this book. It is so
wonderfoooooooooooooooooool. Perfect!
I am sure this is the best book ever written about lists.
