News from the Fringe By: John J. Kohut and Roland Sweet
Non-Fiction, humor 200 pages 7th grade reading level
Copyright 1993
This book has about 600 weird news stories from around the world. We learned many weird facts from this book. For example, rhinotillexomania is the scientific name for chronic nose-picking, there are killer pandas, kosher steel, and the name Christopher Columbus is jinxed. This book is a fun read of those weird news stories that one does not often read about. (Unless you also read the column that they are co-authors of “News of the Weird.”)
