A Book in Review: Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Plunges into Michigan

Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Plunges into Michigan By: Bathroom Readers' Hysterical Society
Non-fiction: Local, history misc. 307 pages
Book Count: 7

This book is set up a bit differently then most bathroom readers. The sections are not divided according to the length of the story, only by the topic. Also there are no facts running on the bottom of each page. Besides that it is much the same. This book had lots of interesting information about Michigan, history, people, places, and events. Some interesting thinks that you learn is why different cites got their names including: Hell, Climax, Colon, Crapo, Nirvana and Zilwaukee. Also odd laws like in which city it is illegal to paint a sparrow so that it looks like a parakeet. And there is lots of information about the history of the automobile industry ranging from how Mr. Buick started in plumbing to the number of people that work at the auto show each year.
