A bit of light reading about a man who read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica from A to Z. The book is full of fun facts. One I remember is the speed of light expressed in fathoms per fortnight (1.98 times 10 to the 14th power).

This book will be kept for a while (a few friends want to read it) before it is passed on.

This was picked up by someone at the PDXBookcrossers meeting on May 20th. See our yahoo group PDXBookcrossers for details about meetings in the Portland metro area.

Picked in up in May at the meeting and then misplaced it. Finally found it when cleaning my bookcase in preparation for moving. It looks fun. Thanks ahimsa.
