Guide Review - The Book of Poisonous Quotes
If you like quotations you will like this book. In fact, if you like humor, this is one book that you should read. The cover of the book has the popular Mark Twain quote, "Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Do not let this popular quotation make you worry that this book will simply recycle popular quotations. Quite the contrary, in this book, you are likely to come across many quotations that you would not have encountered earlier.
Regardless of your belief or political affiliation, you will find a quotation that attacks you. In the sixteen chapters, organized by topic, you will find a treasure-trove of the choicest insults. I recommend that you read this book.
