The Wonderful Thing Explainer

[Hysterrics]

My copy of Thing Explainer, by the wonderful Randall Munroe, arrived yesterday. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about it. Seriously, five outta five. I recommend this to everyone on this forum. I mean, it's go a whole page on the ISS, so if I ever need a map of it, there it is!

So, for the people who have the book, what do you think of it?

Everyone who has the book I advise you to look carefully in the back because THERE IS A POSTER IN THE BACK THAT CAN BE EXTRACTED AND POSTERED

I just wish the poster had been the Up Goer Five.  There's also a surprising number of fold-out pages in the book.

The sad part is that I haven't spent much time looking through it since I got it.

Oh yes when I found that I was like "YOU ARE BEING POSTERED"

While I do wish is was Up-Goer Five, it's still a pretty neat poster that has a bunch of references from the book.

They do have one that can be purchased from their store, in case you really wanted it.

I stopped at Barnes and Noble on Friday to get a gift for my wife, and lefr with a copy. It…'s a present. For my boys. Honest.

Well, I just got the book the other day, but so far I have only had a quick look through it. Also, if you want to type with only the ten hundred most often used words, here is a cool thing I found on the computer world: http://splasho.com/upgoer5/

I generally prefer to have more words characters in a book of that price. But well, Mr Munroe deserved my purchase.
