Liked "1066"? You'll Like "This".
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This sort-of-a-sequel to "1066 And All That" is more of the same, and since the first book was a brilliant assault on all things serious, you get more puns, absurdities and satiric riffs on academe and its stupidities. Not limited to history this time, the boys go after child-rearing, food... well, everything. It's all very silly, and gloriously so. In short: If this is the kind of thing you like, you'll like this.
And Now All This
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Anyone blessed with a sense of the absurd, a love of words and/or a disdain for pomposity stands a good chance of enjoying this gloriously silly book. All the more so if you enjoyed '1066 And All That' by the same authors - especially if, like me, you were frustrated by your lack of background in English history; no such information is required here. It does help if you spent 12 years of schooling staring constructively into space, though.
