 I'd forgotten how much I'd forgotten June 15, 2008

I loved this; it's easily digestible, with some nice touches of humour. But as well as reminding you that you used to have a memory, it fills in the gaps when you were looking out of the window as the teacher explained simultaneous equations, or The American War of Independence. What's so great about this book is that it doesn't talk down to you - it assumes that everyone forgets things now and again. But perhaps it has an interesting role for the younger reader, too. What did you do at school, mummy? This...

I bought this book for my Dad, trying to look clever whilst reminding him he is old. When he started asking me if "I knew this or that" I realized how much I had forgotten from school, and I made a complete fool of myself.
I asked my father to lend me the book now! I needed a quick read through, but he wouldn't let me have it!!
Great fun.

What is photosynthesis?! June 18, 2008

Apparently, like loads of other people, I go around thinking that I still know everything that I learnt at school, when in fact, I bet I can't remember half of it, and it wasn't even that long ago! When someone actually asked me to tell them what photosynthesis was I found that I no longer knew anything more than 'it's how plants live and something to do with carbon dioxide and green stuff in leaves'! And more disturbingly all my basic maths skills have also got lost somewhere in the depths of time. This book is a godsend to anyone who wants to be reminded of all these skills so that you no longer feel like a dunce at the pub quiz or just generally really, and it also has loads of things that I was never even taught at school which are of genuine interest. It looks so nice on your shelf too that its a good one to buy for awkward relatives and friends - as long as they won't be insulted!!
God I need this book............................. June 11, 2008

Picked this up at the weekend as I liked the cover and purchased it straight away - am shocked at how much stuff I have indeed forgotten.
This is such a useful book - have it on my desk at work as its a great reference tool for basic general knowledge.
This is going to make a great gift for my godchildren!
Very I Before E if you have that book.
You'll be exclaiming I USED TO KNOW THAT!!! June 18, 2008

I am constantly feeling frustrated about my lack of knowledge on the things I learned at school, now I can just look them all up in this fantastic little book! From parts of speech to Shakespeare plays and Kings and Queens of England it's got everything you need to brush up on your general knowledge - you'll be the queen of the pub quiz! You will genuinely be exclaiming "I USED TO KNOW THAT!!!" throughout.
