So Much Fun

Revisado: 05-07-21

Ordinarily I am not a fan of audible books. I find them sleep inducing. Well, this one is the exception. 100 of the Worst Ideas in History by Michael N. Smith and Eric Kasum is delivered in a way that is so fun that you just want to keep listening, especially if you are a trivia fan (which I am) and you love history (which I do). The audible book employs a wide variety of sound effects, celebrity imitations, and an overall snappy delivery that makes it a fun listen. Each idea is short, so it’s hard to get bored. And I was thinking what a fun thing to listen to in the car on a long drive with your kids, until we got to the merkin. And if you don’t know what a merkin is look it up! There are other assorted adult themed entries too, so I just offer that as a heads up for parents.

And although I’m sure the authors could have found one hundred idiot ideas by Americans, I appreciated the fact that they took a wider view and offered many tidbits in world history as well. And here’s the best part! There were things that even a know-it-all like me didn’t know. They offer a wide variety of stupid ideas in science, sports, advertising and politics as well. Yes, apparently bad ideas know no boundaries. I recommend this book, especially if you have some boring chore that could use the levity to get you through it.
