Book Report: The Top 10 of Everything 2008 by Russell Ash (2007)
I received this book as a Christmas gift. It provided a couple hours of browsing while watching baseball, as it's that sort of book: a number of Top 10 lists about various and sundry subject grouped into categories like music and sports and leisure. Definitely a coffeetable/browsing sort of book, as there's not much text besides the lists, the sources, and the occasional tidbit.

The first chapters on science and nature didn't really hook me, as I really have little interest in the top animals by size or the most common or uncommon elements. Once we moved into to the entertainment sections, though, I could get through more of them in a sitting.

Probably not worth the amount it's going for on Amazon, but it was a gift. If you're looking for lists, you're probably better off with The Book of Lists series, which offers more interesting lists with better commentary/detail on the list items.
