Today I want to share with you the Good Job, Brain! book.
I listen to the podcast, which I've written about in the past, and I've also written about the book, before it became available.
I was asked earlier this year if I was interested in receiving a copy of the book since I had written about and was a fan of the podcast. Uh, helloooooo? Yeah. I was all over that offer and told them in return for their generosity, I'd tell my readers all about it.
I've been reading it on my own for a while, but I also broke it out on Thankgsiving and shared a few tidbits with my family and friends. Ed is pretty good with trivia, so he was into answering the questions I probed his brain with - like Extreme Animals, he knew most of them. We had several laughs, too, with some of the more interesting trivia.
There are things like the mnemonic way to remember all the Canadian Provinces and Territories. And a section called On Your Marks, which go over a bunch or diacritics (Google that!), marks, accents, etc. It'll tell you what that little squigly thing - like the n in señor or the a in São Paulo - is called.
There are puzzles and crosswords too, but to me it's definitely a book with info to share with people. By the end of it, you should feel a little bit like a know-it-all.
And you may even be a star if you ever participate in actual pub trivia.
