The perfect gift under $20 for anyone who loves to laugh, learn, and linger on the toilet.

Whether it’s your friend, sibling, spouse, coworker, or your favorite bathroom philosopher…this book was made to entertain everyone who sits on the throne.

The Bathroom Book of History Facts isn’t just a bathroom listen—it’s a hilariously addictive dive into the weirdest true stories from the past.

Best-selling author and funny human Lucas Russo was tired of scrolling social media while doing his business. So he wrote the book he wished existed:

Short. Funny. Wildly true. And designed for people who want to enjoy their “me time” without doomscrolling.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Kings who declared war on the ocean
• Battles fought over buckets and bread
• Inventions that should’ve never left the drawing board
• Scandals, accidents, and historical facepalms from all over the world
• Facts so ridiculous, you’ll be quoting them at dinner (you’ve been warned)

This book is made for:

• Curious minds and short attention spans
• Listeners ages 10 to 110
• People who want to laugh and learn something weird
• Anyone who appreciates a good poop joke and an even better fun fact
• Gag gift lovers, trivia nerds, non-readers, and reluctant readers
• Bathrooms, breakrooms, nightstands, RVs, waiting rooms, and beyond

Each is a stand-alone story. No chapters. No pressure.

Open anywhere, start reading, and enjoy — whether you're in there for 30 seconds or 30 minutes.

From ancient empires to modern disasters, The Bathroom Book of History Facts delivers the perfect blend of jaw-dropping, laugh-out-loud, “wait, what?!” moments.

Give yourself—or someone you love—a reason to look forward to their next bathroom break.

Because toilet time should never be boring—and history should never be this funny.

Bite-sized History Enjoyed on the Throne

The Bathroom Book of History Facts is the perfect Audible pick for listeners who love learning in quick, fascinating bursts. Packed with surprising trivia, strange-but-true moments, and little-known historical gems, it turns spare minutes into mini masterclasses.

The audio format works especially well, delivering each fact with crisp pacing and an engaging tone that keeps things lively without feeling overwhelming. I loved this, very entertaining.

Fun History Facts You Didnt Know You Needed

The Bathroom Book of History Facts is exactly what the title promises. It’s packed with historical facts from all over the world. Some are serious, some are funny, and others made me stop and think "Interesting, I didn’t know that."

There are a lot of interesting facts in this book, to say the least. Some of them are things I would have never even thought to question, and a few actually made me laugh out loud. I also liked that at the end of each chapter there’s some kind of Q&A or trivia section, which keeps it fun and engaging.

The downside is that quite a few facts get repeated three or four times, and you do need to genuinely like history or at least have a solid interest in it to fully enjoy the book. That said, I didn’t even read this in the bathroom. I listened to it during my long commute home, and it was perfect for that. It’s light, informative, and doesn’t require a lot of heavy thinking, which made it an easy and enjoyable read. I honestly feel like I could hold my own at any history trivia night now!
