Casa Mai - The Bathroom

This is where we keep (and will review) "Bathroom Books". You know, those ubiquitous tomes of obscure and esoteric knowledge that aren't serious reading but lots of fun anyhow? (Trivia, get it?)

Didja' Know...
Ears of corn always have even numbers of rows of kernels?
Uncle John's Ultimate Bathroom Reader Volume 8, 1996

Book Reviews

	Vixens of Vinyl the Alluring Ladies of Vintage Album Covers Benjamin Darling Chronicle Books 2001 ISBN# 0-8118-3134-5 This is a small format photo book of those "racy" album covers from the 50s and 60s; you know the ones your parents (or grandparents) didn't want you looking at. Quaintly erotic and nostalgic. Really entertaining
	Everything You Pretend to Know About Food (And are Afraid Someone Will Ask) Nancy Rommelmann a Penguin Book 1998 ISBN# 1-14-026373-X "A culinary compendium to season your gastronomical wisdom along with your cuisine". A fairly useful book actually, it gives good solid answers to a lot of fashionable food questions. It also debunks myths, gives preparation and serving suggestions, and explains a lot of those obscure foodie terms. Enjoy!
	Mouthing Off A Book of Rock & Roll Quotes John D. Luerssen the Telegraph Company 2002 ISBN# 1930606028 Just like it says - quotes from Rock stars written by a "Rock Journalist". Most of the 'stars' are contemporary and the quotes cover a variety of subjects from "First Concert" to "Punker Than Thou" and "9.11.2001". Easy to read in small bits. What I learned from this book: Marilyn Manson is not as psycho as most people think.
