A celebration of failures, doom, disaster, mistakes,
miscalculations, hubris, folly and really, really bad albums.
Written by the author of the cult hit, Crap Towns. Most books
celebrate the exceptions rather than the rule. They focus on the
over-achievers, the unique and strange success stories. They don't
provide a fair reflection of the general tide of history - but they
do make your average reader feel, well, more average. The 10 Worst
of Everything redresses this imbalance and shows that you maybe
shouldn't take it too badly if your own plans aren't working out.
And there's nearly always someone worse off than you. Which is
reassuring, if nothing else. This is a fascinating compendium of
disappointing facts about the world, vital information about places
to avoid, mind-boggling information about medicine, history and
science, pop culture misses, as well as all the daft things we do
to each other. It will help to prove the old adage that you can
always learn more from failure than you can from success. And hey,
even if you don't want to boost your brain, there's still the fun
of watching other people go wrong.
