More Information Than You Require Audiobook

" Funny, but do I need that much weird humor without any narrative structure behind it? It's a good book to flip through when you're in between things though. "

" you don't actually "read" this book as much as you peruse. the format, layout and style is not conducive for reading at all. i will say this, if you sorta skim around this book for a few minutes 84% will be absolute drivel, 12% will be mildly, shamefully interesting and 4% will be very funny. i don't think this is the vehicle for this guys humor..... "

" Umm... apparently FAKE trivia is really only funny for like half of a chapter. As a rule, I love trivia books; I learn a lot of random facts. The only thing that I learned reading this book is that I truly have no connection with 'Mac' people. The author of this book is the "I'm a PC" guy from the Mac commercials. At first I thought that was neat, and it would be really interesting. I was mistaken. Mole People influencing Thomas Jefferson is just not something I can take for an entire book. I was aware that this was a comedy book, I just thought it would be both entertaining and educational. I've read a lot of authors that accomplished this easily. "

" Just as amazing as its prequel. "

" Really, it's a 3.5. I just think I'd rather watch The Hodge perform this book instead of reading it myself. Probably because I'm a Mole Man. "

" I definitely prefer John Hodgman in famous minor television personality to John Hodgman in print. However, if you must have one famous minor life experience involving this book, consider reading aloud the list of 700 Moleman names. A truly enjoyable 40 minutes. "

" John Hodgman clearly read Choose Your Own Adventure books as a child. One doesn't really read More Information than you require as much as play with it. Either that or it's modeled on an academic tome with lots and lots of footnotes. There are constant references to places in the book for "even more" information and I admit I had fun going from reading about the presidents of the United States to stuff about the origins of mole men. "

" Hodgman has a way with words and some of his anecdotes are very beautiful, but I'm glad I listed to this in audio form because I'm not sure if I would made it through. Great performance, though. "

" This was so funny, so smart, and so awesomesauce that I can't even describe it. "

" chuckle-worthy, but not in the mood to read funny, but utterly false facts. "

" Always funny. "

" I truly learned more information than I required with this book. Plus, it's funny as hell. "

" Not quite as startlingly absurd and wonderful as the Areas of My expertise, but still an enduring monolith in the world of fake trivia. "

" Which presidents had a hook for a hand. "

" Everything about this book of fake trivia is better than his previous gem, except the list of Mole-men Names. The Hobo Nickname list was better. I laughed out loud more than a hundred times reading this. "

" I laughed constantly. Silly and brainy. Weird. "

" Hodgman is correct. This IS more information than I require - I really didn't need all the Mole Men information. Otherwise, random and humorous. "

" OK - it's hilarious. At least, we think so! "

" A hilarious and fitting follow-up to his The Areas of My Expertise . "

" Leagues better than the first. Maybe it's because I had the audio experience and could almost hear Hodgman reading the book to me but I actually think this one was just plain funnier. Still just a nice little diversion from life but one I enjoyed. "

" I got this one at a book signing. I'm a fan of all things Hodgman, but you need to appreciate a certain type of humor... "

" I loved the audio book version with appearances by Ira Glass and Rachel Maddow. "

" Get the audiobook. Get the hardback too, so you're friends can see how cool you are, but, also, listen to the audiobook. "

" Good, funny, though nothing about it makes it a "must read." "

" If you know John Hodgman, enough said. If not, expect entertaining nonsense from the wry to ridiculous. "

" Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, some nice and touching moments, but the molemen can't live up to the hobos. They just can't. "

" Hodgman is funny, but the book just didn't hold my attention as a whole. The book isn't designed to be cohesive, but it had too many slow/too long segments to keep me excited. Maybe just not my style of humor though. "

" What's not to love? Very post-modern, cleverly written. "

" Hodgman has a way with words and some of his anecdotes are very beautiful, but I'm glad I listed to this in audio form because I'm not sure if I would made it through. Great performance, though. "

" This god damn book never ends. I literally chucked it across my room into the trash upon finishing it. And I DID finish it despite claiming it never ends. It was okay. "

" Leagues better than the first. Maybe it's because I had the audio experience and could almost hear Hodgman reading the book to me but I actually think this one was just plain funnier. Still just a nice little diversion from life but one I enjoyed. "

" I love me some John Hodgman. This book is very silly, and strangely compelling - I think I read it in one sitting. "

" I didn't read his first book, so this might just be me not totally getting the sense of humor, but I found the book uneven. There were absolutely laugh-out-loud moments, but there were other parts where I felt compelled to skip ahead. "

" One of the best gifted books. So much ridiculousness here. "

" I did not read the list of molemen. "

" I find John Hodgman extremely funny and likable, but his second book didn't really do it for me. Too long, and all of the stuff about the mole-men just wasn't that funny. Too many of the jokes in the book fell flat, but it had enough moments of brilliance to keep me reading. "
