review 1: I think I like the idea of these books better than the actual books. I do appreciate the concept of having just a page to read a day (I read a few on some days, none on others) and there is lots of good introductory information here on quite a selection of subjects. However, the vaguely opinionated tone on a number of the entries got to me after a while-- I guess if you're reading this to "converse confidently" you want to have an opinion-- but I didn't like that the default opinion seemed a little condescending; it definitely leaned a certain way.
review 2: The book has 365 entries (one for each day of the year, one page each) that cover 7 fields of "culture". Everything from music, literature, politics, etc. Great book if you need something short or somethi... moreng you can browse quickly. Basically, a trivia book. A few things I liked about this book:- It beats reading shampoo labels at the toilet- It provides lots of factoids, or useless bits of information that you may use for small chat (I didn't have a clue that Winston Churchill won the Literature Nobel Prize, or that Nirvana's "Smells like teen spirit" song's title refers to a deodorant brand). But then I don't know a lot of things- It has a hard cover- I paid 2 bucks for itA few things I didn't like about the book:- The subtitle is completely misleading ("Revive your mind"???????, "Complete your education"?????). Give me a break, guys: that is a "bit" too ambitious of a title- It is extremely US-centered (well, the world is, but I would have loved to see a broader, more international perspective). Specially, a very large percentage of the sports entries were US-related- Not being a sports-fan, I found the level of sports trivia excessive less
