Why read it?
1 author picked Panati's Extraordinary Endings of Practically Everything and Everybody as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I think this is the book I’ve had the longest out of the five I’m recommending, and I’m on my fifth copy because I either destroy them from overuse or give them away.
There are entries on people, but also on diseases and extinct animals, and my favorite section, dead sex practices. Ooh la la.
From Jane's list on encyclopedic books for cultural factoid nerds.
