In the great tradition of the American almanac,
The Areas of My Expertise is a brilliant and hilarious compendium of handy reference tables, fascinating trivia, and sage wisdom on all topics large and small. Although best sellers such as Poor Richard's Almanack and The Book of Lists were certainly valuable, they also were largely true. Here is a different kind of handy desk reference, one in which all of the historical oddities and amazing true facts are sifted through the singular, illuminating imagination of John Hodgman, which is the nice way of saying: He made it all up.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Wonderfully absurd." (The New York Times)
"Hilarious ... Nabokov's Pale Fire as directed by Wes Anderson." (Time Out New York)
"If Borges and Ben Franklin got drunk and decided to write a book together, the result might have been something a lot like this freaky 'almanac.'" (Tom Perrotta)

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
...I didn't really enjoy this book. I knew that it was made up facts but I had a hard time listening to it. Apparently I need more of a story. A lot of people love this book, I guess I just am not one of them.Love John Hodgman but...

I'm really curious to read the print version as well to compare them better; I expect it will be a very different experience.
Enhanced, not abridged!

Don't play it for anyone under 13; there is some risque language, and they won't get it anyway.
Wow!

John Hodgman has gone to great lengths to make this audio book entertaining, evening adding musical accompaniment and plenty of skits making fun of himself, his musical accomplice, and the book itself.
Good but Overwhelming
